Ok so here is how you do this. Ten percent is .10 in the calculator...as 20 percent is .20 percent... so in order to do this you would multiply 1,800 by .10...that will tell you exactly what the commission is...

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

so tell me...what do you think it is? let me reword that...what can you PROVE it is...

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

wrong...he makes 1800 per month. You need to find the years rent. So multiply 1800 x 12 to get the years rent. Then multiply that by 10% which is equal to .10. Do you understand ?
