Question

A computer salesman earns a 5.5% commission on each sale. If he sells 5 computers in one week for a total of $15500. How much commission does he earn?

Answer 1

They are trying to trick you with the 5 computers ;)

Just look at these numbers:

You have a total of $15,500 and the salesman gets 5.5% interest,

so 15500*0.055=??

Answer 2
