Answer 1

The commission from the sale of $300 worth of clothing is:

Commission = Rate of commission x Sale amount
Commission = 0.05 x $300
Commission = $15

Therefore, the commission from the sale of $300 worth of clothing is $15.

Answer 2

if the part is 48 and the percent is 40 whats the whole

Answer 3

Let the whole be represented by "x".

We can set up a proportion to solve for x:

part/whole = percent/100

Plugging in the given values, we get:

48/x = 40/100

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

40x = 48 * 100

40x = 4800

Dividing both sides by 40:

x = 120

Therefore, the whole is 120.
