xguardians · Answer

$80 (Original) * .75 (Inverse of .25) = $60
$60 (Sale Price) * .2 (Commission) = $12
Therefore Hayley will receive $12.

I sill dont get it... here is another one Miki and her family ordered a meal that cost $140. Miki paid 5% sales tax and left a 15% tip on $140. What was the total cost?

One Second :)

xguardians · Answer

$140 (Original Price) * .05 (Sales Tax %) = $7 (Sales Tax Amount)
$140 (Original Price) * .15 (Tip %) = $21 (Tip Amount)
$21 (Tip Amount) + $7 (Sales Tax Amount) = $28 (Total Extra Amount)
$140 (Original Price) + $28 (Total Extra Amount) = $168

Miki paid a total of $168!

Hope this helps! Its just a matter of converting percents to decimals. Then multiply them by the whole.
