Question

A salesperson at a jewelry store earns ​5% commission each week. Last​ week, Jarrod sold $640 worth of jewelry. How much did he make in​ commission?

Answer 1

Answer:

It $32

$540x.05=$27

21.60!

Step-by-step explanation:

            it just a tip

Heidi made $32 from The commission, And the store made $513 (i had this question myself on Savvas)

it just a tip

1. 540x0.05=503

2. 540-37= $513

So the store made 513 dollars and Heidi made 27 dollars

5% = 5/100 = 0.05 = 1/20

Then 5% × $640 = $640/20 = $64/2 = $32.

5% × $640 = $32

Answer 2

Answer:

  $32

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the commission, multiply the rate by the sales:

  commission = 5% × $640 = $32

He made $32 in commission.

Additional comment

Many calculators and all spreadsheets can work with percentages directly. If yours can't, or if you can't do this arithmetic mentally, you can use the equivalent decimal or fraction for 5%.

  5% = 5/100 = 0.05 = 1/20

Then 5% × $640 = $640/20 = $64/2 = $32.
