A salesperson earns 11% commission on sales. The equation for the amount she earns in commission is c = 0.11s, where s is the amount sold. How much commission will she earn if the amount sold is $5000?

Answer 1

To find the commission earned by the salesperson, you can use the given equation \( c = 0.11s \), where \( s \) is the amount sold.

In this case, \( s = 5000 \).

Now, substitute \( s \) into the equation:

\[ c = 0.11 \times 5000 \]

Calculating that:

\[ c = 0.11 \times 5000 = 550 \]

Thus, the commission she will earn if the amount sold is $5000 is $550.
