200x15%=30$ of commission
80+30=110$ in total for the week

An easy way to do this specific problem is to divide 200 by 2, since it's just two 100s. Now that you have two 100s, it's easy to see that 15% of 100 is 15. Since you have two 100s, multiply 15 by two. In the future, to calculate percentages, use this formula:

is/of = percent/100

is/200 = 15/100
200 * 15 = 3,000
3,000 / 100 = 30

Just add the commission to the amount she earns each week to her total income for this week.

30 + 80 = 110

Renee earned a total of $110 (B) and earned $30 (C) from commission.
