Question

Supervisor: "You did a great job last month. You made $75.00 an hour with your commission pay.” Employee: "This month I want to increase that by 20% so that I make __________ an hour."

Answer 1

I'd say you make 90$ an hour.

   $75.00 + (20% x 75)

Rewritten 20% as .2 

 75 + ( .2 x 75 )
 
75 + 15 =

  90



 OR

75 x 1.2
