The commission Gary earns is proportional to the cost of the shoes he sells. Gary earns 15% in commission for every $150 worth of shoes he sells. Which equation give the total commission, C, Gary will earn based on the cost, s, of the shoes he sells?
Answer:
Thus, The required equation is :
\(C=\frac{S}{0.15}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Minimum price to offer a commission = $150
Also, The rate of commission rate is given to be : 15%
So, Amount of commission earned per $150 = 15% of 150
= 0.15 × 150 = $22.5
Now, C is the commission earned and S is the cost of shoes earned
Thus, The required equation is :
\(C=\frac{22.5}{150}\times S\\\\\implies C=\frac{S}{0.15}\)
