Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $50 per day and she worked 30 days in the quarter, what is the total amount she earned?
if she gets 3% of what she sells you multiply the decimal form of the percent by the amount she has made: 50*.03=1.5 So she make $1.50 for every $50 of sales, so you multiply the amount she made by her commission each day by the number of days she worked: 1.5*30=45
