Question

A store pays a 5% commission on the first $300 of a sale. If the sale is

Answer 1

Answer:

$69

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we want to focus on the first $300

Multiply 300 by 0.05 to get the commission

300 x 0.05 = 15

Now, we solve for the first 300, let's solve for the remaining sales, which is 600 because 900 - 300 = 600

Multiply 600 by 0.09

600 x 0.09 = 54

Add the two sales commission numbers together

15 + 54 = 69
