Kara works at a fine jewelry store and earns commission on her total sales for the week. Her weekly paycheck was in the amount of $6500, including her salary of $1,000. Her sales for the week totaled $45,000. Express her rate of commission as a percent, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Her total paycheck minus her salary = the commission amount

So

6500 - 1000 = 5500

So....her commission as a percentage of sales  = 5500/ 45000 = about 12.2%

i agree with CPhill, but the question says round to the nearest whole number, so it would be 12%smiley
