Question

Tyler's brother works in a shoe store. Tyler's brother earns commission. He makes 2.5% of the amount he sells. Last week, he sold $900 worth of shoes. How much was his commission? Explain how you know.
Well, let's see...
10% of 900 is 90$
so..... if we divide 90 by 5 we get... 18 soo now we have to divide 18 by 4 to make up for the ".5". That will be 4.5.
4.5 + 18 =22.5 your answer is 22.5
Hope this helps :)
Good grief
2.5% <----> .025

.025*900 = 22.50
About what? Is there something "wrong" with my answer? :/
Nope, nothing "wrong" with your answer, (quotations were yours).
Just very awkward way of doing it when it is so simple with 1 step
Lol, thats the way you do it -_-
