If you sell 30 items at $200 a piece and your commission rate is 20%, how much commission do you earn?
а
$600
b
C
$1,200
$120
$6,000
d

$1200

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 2 ways I immediately think about to solving the problem.

1) You multiply 30 and 200 , then multiply the product by .2 (i.e. 20%)

This way, you'll find out what the total amount was($6,000), then you multiply it by your commission rate.(.2 or 20%) to find your total profit($1,200).

2) You multiply 200 by .20 , then multiply the product by 30.

This way, you'll find out what your commission would be for a single item($40), then multiply by the total items sold (30) to find your total profit($1,200).

to rewrite a literal equation you may need to divide by a number, or by a variable.

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
