Clarissa had $18,000.00 in sales for November.  Since she receives an 8% commission on her sales, her total pay for November can be determined as follows.  Convert 8% to 0.08.



Clarissa's total pay for November is base pay plus commission.



To determine the percentage of Clarissa's pay that was from her commission, divide her commission by her total pay.



Therefore, Clarissa's pay from her commission made up 37.5% of her pay for the month of November.
