Question

find the amount of sale if a salesman earning on 8% commission receives a commission of $432

Answer 1

If the salesman received a $432 commission, put the commission amount over the commission rate to get the answer. So, $432/0.08 = $5,400. Check your answer by multiplying your sales price of $5,400 by the commission rate of 0.08 which gives you the $432 commission amount.
