Question

A tax collector receives 15% commission on his collector. If he collects $9500. Find his commission

Answer 1

Answer:

1425

Step-by-step explanation:

Y is 15% of 9500

Equation: Y = P% * X

Solving our equation for Y

Y = P% * X

Y = 15% * 9500

Converting percent to decimal:

p = 15%/100 = 0.15

Y = 0.15 * 9500

Y = 1425

Answer 2

Answer:

$1425

Step-by-step explanation:

Commission is the total amount taken from the total gain from the same work, for example, if someone is to bw given 20% commission from a work that will pay $1000, then the total commission will be $200.

Here's the formula,

$total \: percentage \: of \: the \: amount \\ earned \\ r \times y = x$

Here, r is the rate of Commission which is given and equal to 15% in the Question.

Y is the amount from which the person is being given the Commission from, equal to $9500.

X is the Total Commission, which is Unknown.

Rate can also be written in Decimals such that,

$15\% = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15$

Now putting values and solving.

$(0.15 \: or \: \frac{15}{100}) \times 9500 = x$

$x = 1425$

In above equation, 15/100 can be used for ease of rough calculation, but if you have a calculator, you can use 0.15 instead.

Hence the commission that He will receive will be equal to $1425.
