Bridgett is wrong.
You need to multiply:
10,000 * 0.055 = ?
To solve this problem, you need to calculate 5.5% of the flat-screen TV's selling price, which is $10,000.
To find 5.5% of $10,000, you can use the following formula:
Commission = (Percentage / 100) * Selling Price
First, convert 5.5% to decimal form by dividing it by 100:
5.5% / 100 = 0.055
Next, multiply the decimal form (0.055) by the selling price ($10,000) to find the commission:
Commission = 0.055 * $10,000 = $550
Therefore, Bob will make $550 in commission if she sells a flat-screen TV for $10,000.
