Question

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 1

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 :

$C=\frac{22.5}{150}\times S\\\\\implies C=\frac{S}{0.15}$

Answer 2

C = $150x * .15 is the formula
