Arthur is a salesperson at a clothing store. He earns a 13% commission on his total sales. If Arthur's total sales last month were $15,500, how much money did he earn? A. $1,192 B. $1,950 C. $2,015 D. $2,325

OpenStudy (anonymous):

take the total he earned times the .13, then add that back to the amount he earned. so 15500*.13=? then ?+15500=final answer.

well, nevermind, from the looks of it you just need to find the interest so forget the last part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is $2,015

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

never mind it is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You take the amount of money earned by the total sales and multiply it by 13% (0.13) to get your commission on the total sale.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In this case, $15,500 x 0.13 = $2,015
