Question

As a salesperson, your commission is directly proportional to the dollar amount of sales you make. If your sales are $800, your commission is $112. How much commission would you earn if you had $1,400 in sales?

Answer 1

The commission that would be earned is `$196.00`

Explanation:

As provided in the problem, $800.00 sales has a commission of $112.00 which is 14% of the sales per calculation. Therefore, taking that into consideration; sales of $1,400.00 would mean $196.00 commission.

`=$1,400.00 xx 14%`
`=$196.00`
