If you sold $4800 worth of items and earned 16% commission, the first thing you would have to do would be to find out what 16% of $4800 is. Written as an equation, this would be $4800 x 16%, or $4800 x 0.16.
$4800 x 0.16 = $768. Now, to figure out the total amount of money you earned, you would add the $768 commission to the sale amount $4800, so the actual amount of money you earned would be:
$4800 + $768 = $5568
