Ramona is a saleswoman whose base pay plus commissions amounted to $52561 last year. if her base pay was $23690 and she made $77,300 in sales last year, what is her rate of commission a) 68% b) 37% c) 31% d) 46%

B) 37%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The total base pay and commission = $ 52561,

While, base pay = $ 23690,

So, the amount of commision = Total base pay and commission - base pay = $ 52561- $ 23690 = $ 28871,

Also, total sale = $77,300,

Hence, the rate of the commission( in percentage )

Option 'B' is correct.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
