Answer:

The commission rate is 9%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

  • Alice's monthly salary is $315
  • Total sales were $9640
  • Total earnings are $1182.60

We are required to determine the commission rate;

We need to know that;

Total earnings = Monthly salary + Commission

Therefore;

Commission = Total earnings - monthly salary

                     = $1182.60 - $315

                     = $867.6

Therefore, assuming the commission rat is x %

Then;

x/100 × $9640 = $867.6

x/100 = $867.6 ÷ $9640

x/100 = 0.09

 x = 9%

Therefore, the commission rate is 9%
