Tyler's brother works in a shoe store. Tyler's brother earns commission. He makes 2.5% of the amount he sells. Last week, he sold $900 worth of shoes. How much was his commission? Explain how you know.

Answer 1

Well, let's see...
10% of 900 is 90$
so..... if we divide 90 by 5 we get... 18 soo now we have to divide 18 by 4 to make up for the ".5". That will be 4.5.
4.5 + 18 =22.5 your answer is 22.5
Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Good grief
2.5% <----> .025

.025*900 = 22.50

Answer 3

About what? Is there something "wrong" with my answer? :/

Answer 4

Nope, nothing "wrong" with your answer, (quotations were yours).

Answer 5

Lol, thats the way you do it -_-
