Salespeople receive a 7% commission on all items that they sell. Their sales for one day totaled $675. What was the amount of commission received for that day? a. $20.25 b. $47.25 c. $202.50 d. $472.50
The answer is B, 47.25. First we need to know what commission is before we start the problem. Commission is is a payment that an employee makes based on a sale. Then we turn 7% to a decimal first. Which is 0.07. Next we multiply 675 by 0.07. And we get 47.25.
