John is a car salesman. He earns 5.5% commission on all the cars he sells. How much commission would John earn if sold a new car for $29,000?

Putting 5.5% 29,000 in a calculator we get 1595 which is the commison he gets.

Another way to get answers for questions like this is to multiply the percantage by the number then divide by 100. in this case, 5.5 x 29,000 / 100 = 1595
