Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. The sales amount is $540 \$540 .
2. The commission rate is 7% 7\% .
3. We need to calculate the commission based on the given sales and commission rate.

STEP 2

1. Convert the percentage to a decimal.
2. Calculate the commission by multiplying the sales by the commission rate.

STEP 3

Convert the commission rate from a percentage to a decimal.
7%=7100=0.07 7\% = \frac{7}{100} = 0.07

STEP 4

Multiply the sales amount by the commission rate to find the commission.
Commission=$540×0.07 \text{Commission} = \$540 \times 0.07

STEP 5

Perform the multiplication to find the commission.
Commission=$540×0.07=$37.80 \text{Commission} = \$540 \times 0.07 = \$37.80
The commission is:
$37.80\boxed{\$37.80}
