Tyson handled 150 service calls on his shift yesterday. Of those, 20% resulted in a successful upsell of additional services. If Tyson makes a $6 commission on top of his regular salary for each successful upsell that he makes, how much commission did he make yesterday?
number of sales = .2(150) = 30
commission = 6(30) = 180
To calculate Tyson's commission, we first need to determine the number of successful upsells he made. We can do this by finding 20% of the total number of service calls.
Number of successful upsells = 20% of 150 service calls
To find the percentage, we can multiply 150 by 0.20 (which is the decimal form of 20%).
Number of successful upsells = 150 * 0.20 = 30 upsells
Now that we know Tyson made 30 successful upsells, we can calculate his commission by multiplying the number of successful upsells by the commission rate per upsell.
Commission = Number of successful upsells * Commission rate per upsell
Given that Tyson makes a $6 commission per successful upsell:
Commission = 30 * $6 = $180
Therefore, Tyson made a commission of $180 yesterday.
