Question

A car salesperson sells a used car for ​$9000 and earns ​9% of the sale price as commission. How many dollars does the salesperson earn in​ commission?

Answer 1

Answer:

$810 in commission

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make a proportion. Method: Percent proportion

$\frac{percent}{100} = \frac{part}{whole}$

2. your proportion should look like this. Note: we don't know how much commission he earned.

$\frac{9}{100} =\frac{x}{9000}$

3. cross-multiply. Multiply 9 x 9000 and make 100x because we don't know its value yet. Hint: X is our unknown commission.

$9000$ × $9$ = $81000$

4. set your new proportion.

$\frac{100x}$ $=$ $\frac{81000}$

5. divide the proportion by 100 on each side.

$\frac{100x}{100} = \frac{81000}{100}$

6. After dividing your proportion.

$Answer$ $=$ $$810$ $in$ $commission$
