Question

Taylor earns a commission. She makes 5.5% of the amount she sells. Last week, she sold $1200 worth of merchandise. How much is her commission?

Answer 1

To find Taylor's commission, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Commission} = \text{Sales Amount} \times \text{Commission Rate}
\]

In this case, her sales amount is $1200 and her commission rate is 5.5%, or 0.055 in decimal form.

Now, calculate her commission:

\[
\text{Commission} = 1200 \times 0.055
\]

\[
\text{Commission} = 66
\]

So, Taylor's commission for last week is **$66**.
