Taylor's sister earns a commission. She makes 2.5% of the amount she sells. Last week, she sold $900 worth of merchandise. How much was her commission?

Answer 1

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

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

In this case, her sales amount is $900, and her commission rate is 2.5% (which can be expressed as 0.025 in decimal form).

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Commission} = 900 \times 0.025 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Commission} = 22.5 \]

Therefore, Taylor's sister's commission for last week is $22.50.
