A salesman earns 20% commission on all merchandise that he sells. last month he sold $600 worth of merchandise. how much commission (in dollars) did he earn last month?

Answer :

If a salesman earns 20% commission on all merchandise that her sells and last month he sold $600 worth of merchandise, the commission that he earned last month is $120

The total cost of the merchandise that he sold = $600

The commission percentage on all the merchandise that he sells = 20%

The commission that he earned last month = The total cost of the merchandise that he sold × (The commission percentage on all the merchandise that he sells/100)

Substitute the values in the equation

The commission that he earned last month  = 600 × (20/100)

= 600 × 0.2

= $120

Hence, if a salesman earns 20% commission on all merchandise that her sells and last month he sold $600 worth of merchandise, the commission that he earned last month is $120
