You are receiving 12 dollars per $100 in sales, or a 12% commission.
If the sales were 400 and the commission was 15 she made 415.
Set up the problem and solve it: Sales * %commission = earnings (now insert the known numbers) 1800 * .06 = earnings (6% is the same as .06, now multiply to solve) 108 = earnings Now, to find how much he will have to sell to earn $120 using the same formula: sales * %commission = earnings (now insert the known numbers) sales * .06 = 120 (now divide both sides of the equation by .06) sales = 120/ .06 (do the division and solve) sales = 2000 (Mr Sellers needs to sell $2000 to earn $120 in commission)
yes absolutely.
You would multiply (or 'times') to calculate the commission. For example, if a sales clerk makes 10% commission on all sales, and makes a sale of $250, you would multiply $250 by .10 (.10 represents the 10 percent), which would be $25.
