Right.
Thank You 4 everything! :)
Find this answer by solving the following:
179,000*0.06= 10,740
The proportion for this work is 0.06/179,000 because he commission earned is 0.06% of 179,000
To find out how much money Mrs. Miller earns, we can set up a proportion.
The proportion can be set up as follows:
commission / selling price = 6% / 100%
Let's assign variables to the commission and selling price.
Let commission = x
Let selling price = $179,000
Now we can write the proportion as:
x / $179,000 = 6% / 100%
To simplify the proportion, we convert 6% and 100% to decimals.
6% = 6/100 = 0.06
100% = 100/100 = 1
So the proportion becomes:
x / $179,000 = 0.06 / 1
Now we can cross-multiply and solve for x:
x = $179,000 * 0.06
x = $10,740
Therefore, Mrs. Miller earns $10,740 in commission.
