To calculate Bobby's commission, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Commission} = \text{Sale Price} \times \text{Commission Rate}
\]
Given that Bobby's commission rate is 9% (or 0.09 as a decimal) and the sale price of the golf clubs is $658.87, you can substitute these values into the formula:
\[
\text{Commission} = 658.87 \times 0.09
\]
Now, performing the multiplication:
\[
\text{Commission} = 65.2983
\]
Rounding this to the nearest cent gives us:
\[
\text{Commission} \approx 65.30
\]
Thus, Bobby earned **$65.30** in commission.
