Joan receives a 9% commission on appliances she sells. Last month she sold $18,500 worth of appliances. How much did Joan earn in commissions last month?

Respuesta :

Answer:

She earned $1,665.

Step-by-step explanation:

x / 18500 = 9/100

What did you do to transform 18500 into 100? Divide by 185

Since you divided the denominator 185, you must do the same to the numerator.

x / 185 = 9 OR 9 * 185 = x

x = 1665
