Question

Mr. Garner earns a commission of 18% on his total sales. Last month he had sales of $5,000. What was his commission?

Answer 1

Mr Garner's commission was `$900`.

Explanation:

The commission (`x`) can be calculated easily by this equation:

`x=5000xx18/100`

`x=50cancel(00)xx18/(1cancel(00))`

`x=50xx18`

`x=900`
