Percentage counts the value out of total value as count per 100 (cent = 100). The commission earned by Daniel by laptop sale is $43.95
Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'
Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%
Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).
Thus, that thing in number is
[tex]\dfrac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]
For the given case, commission that Daniel makes is 15% of the total selling price of laptop which is $293.00
Its 15% is calculated as:
[tex]\text{Commission} = \dfrac{293}{100} \times 15 = 43.95 \:\: \rm dollars[/tex]
Thus, The commission earned by Daniel by laptop sale is $43.95
