Answer (3)

You would multiply 1.5% by 22,500 but it's simpler to make it a decimal so u divide 1.5 by 100=0.015 You multiply 0.015 x 22,500 and u should get 337.5 dollars

Commision equals percentage times the amount of money bought for the car. It will be 1.5% (0.015) * 22500. The answer is $337.50.
