Chase is a sales person. He sold a camera for $405 and earned 15% commission. How much commission did Chase earn?

Answer 1

To calculate Chase's commission, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Commission} = \text{Sale Price} \times \text{Commission Rate} \]

In this case, the sale price is $405 and the commission rate is 15%, which can be expressed as a decimal (0.15).

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Commission} = 405 \times 0.15 \]

Calculating this:

\[ \text{Commission} = 405 \times 0.15 = 60.75 \]

Chase earned a commission of $60.75.
