Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf \$54.80}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Chris earns the commission on the jewelery sales. To calculate what he earned, multiply the commission rate and his sales.

[tex]commission= commission \ rate * sales[/tex]

His rate is 4% and his sales are $1,370

[tex]commission= 4\% * \$1370[/tex]

Convert the percent to a decimal. Divide by 100 or move the decimal two spots to the left.

  • 4/100= 0.04
  • 4.0   -->   0.4   -->   0.04

[tex]commission= 0.04* $1370[/tex]

[tex]commission = \$ 54.8[/tex]

Chris's commission is $54.80
