Given the statement:
Daniel works at a nearby electronics store. he makes a commission of of 15% on everything he sells.
Determine how much money does Daniel make in commission if he sold $293.00
Solution:
Multiply 293 by the decimal value of 15 to determine the commission of Daniel. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 15/100
= 0.15
= ($293)(0.15)
= $43.95
Final answer:
Daniel makes $43.94 in commission.
