18000.00 was her sales, you said she made "plus 8% commission on her sales"

doc.brown · Answer

Do you know how to find 8% of 18000.00?

anonymous · Answer

idk

anonymous · Answer

180%

doc.brown · Answer

Percent means "of one hundred", so if you chop 18000 into 100 even pieces, Clarissa gets to keep 8 of those pieces.

anonymous · Answer

18,000-2,400= 15,600
15,600(.08)= $1,248

doc.brown · Answer

That's not right @TianaChante, Clarissa gets to keep $$2400 +\frac{8}{100}sales$

doc.brown · Answer

Or, like I said before @Great_And_Powerful $$2400+(\frac{sales}{100}\times 8)$
