Part B

vacation packages during February?
Answer $

Answer 1

what is 6% of 3600 is what the first problem becomes
do you know how to do percentages?

Answer 2

is 600 right ?

Answer 3

not quite
percent means "divided by 100" so\[6\%=\frac6{100}\]and the word "of" means "times" in mathematics, so 6% of 3600 is\[\frac6{100}\times3600\]which will be her commission

Answer 4

so the answer for the first part is 60,000
?

Answer 5

no, do you have a calculator handy?

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

there must be one on your computer

Answer 8

ok wait

Answer 9

i got it

Answer 10

in any event you can just move the decimal point when you divide by 100
so what is 6/100
then multiply by 3600

Answer 11

216 thats my answer right ?

Answer 12

for the first part

Answer 13

yes

Answer 14

and for the second part what i have to do ? ^^^^

Answer 15

it seems to be pretty much the same
we need to find 2% of 3600 (which is the bonus) and add it to the other number we just found
that will be her total income

Answer 16

oh so its going to be 72 right ?

Answer 17

because thats what i got because i divided 2/100 and then multiplyed by 3600 which i got 72

Answer 18

yep, exactly
so the grand total is...?

Answer 19

that's right
the commission + the bonus
so
216+72=288

Answer 20

nice job :)
