Answer
Find out the what is the salesman's commission as a percent of his total monthly sales.
To prove
Formula
\(Percentage = \frac{Part\ value\times100}{Total\ value}\)
As given
A furniture store salesman had $15,200 in total monthly sales last month.
He made $912 in commission from those sales.
Here
Part value = $912
Total value = $15,200
put in the formula
\(Percentage = \frac{912\times 100}{15200}\)
solve the above equation
\(Percentage = \frac{91200}{15200}\)
Percenatge = 6 %
Therefore the salesman's commission is 6% of his total monthly sales .
