What percentage/amount do I receive out the sales I made?

Question

Not to sound uneducated or anything but I just want to make sure. I kind of forgot how it goes lol.

I helped my mother with selling things which resulted to $48.75 and I told her I'm going to get my 10% out of it.

I multiplied the percentage that granted me 4.87. Then I subtracted 48.75 with 4.87 which leaves $43.88.

So this means that my mother receives $43.88 and I get $4.87 out of it right? Please let me know if I did this right.

Please and thanks!

Answer 1

You're correct.

Another way to get %; divide.

6 is what % of 3? 6/3=2; move the decimal 2 spaces= 200%.

3 " " " " 6? 3/6=.5 " " " " " = 50%
