Question

Neil, a salesperson, sold a crystal sculpture originally priced at $75 but on sale for 20% off. If Neil's commission is 15% of the sale price, how much commission did he make from the sale?

Answer 1

Commission is $9.00

Explanation:

20% off `->`80% for sale price

`80%xx$75 -> 80/100xx$75=$60`

Of this there is 15% commission

`15%xx$60 ->15/100xx$60 = $9.00`
