Given:
Jamie receives 15% commission on magazine subscriptions.
One week her sales totaled $860.
To find:
Her commission.
Solution:
We have,
Total sales of one week = $860
Rate of commission = 15%
Now,
[tex]Commission=\dfrac{15}{100}\times 860[/tex]
[tex]Commission=\dfrac{15}{10}\times 86[/tex]
[tex]Commission=\dfrac{1290}{10}[/tex]
[tex]Commission=129[/tex]
Therefore, the amount of commission is $129.
