Answer 1

To find the percentage that 154 Naira represents from a sale of 1000 Naira, you can use the formula for calculating percentage:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\right) \times 100
\]

In this case, the part is the commission (154 Naira) and the whole is the sale amount (1000 Naira). Plug these values into the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{154}{1000}\right) \times 100
\]

\[
\text{Percentage} = 0.154 \times 100
\]

\[
\text{Percentage} = 15.4\%
\]

So, a commission of 154 Naira from a sale of 1000 Naira is 15.4%.
