For Exercises 75-78, solve the problems involving commission. At a recent auction, Boy with a Pipe, an early work by Pablo Picasso, sold for $104 million. The commission for the sale of the work was $11 million. What was the rate of commission? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent. (Source: The New York Times) Andre earns a commission of 4% on sales of restaurant supplies. If he sells $4075 in one week, how much commission will he earn?Explanation / Answer
74) Total of sales tax and resort tax = 11+6 = 17%
Hence tax on 225 x4 = 900*17% = 153
Total amount to be paid = 900+153 = 1053 dollars
--------------------------------------
75) For sale of 104 million sales tax = 11 million
Hence percent = 11/104% = 10.57692%
----------------------------------------
76) Commission earned = 4% of 4075
= 163 dollars
