Chris works at higgins’ automart and is selling a new shelby mustang for $59,000. if he earns a commission of 3%, how much money does he earn? write a proportion and show all steps of your work. the answer i came up with is 177.

$1770

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that percent means "out of 100". 3% as a ratio is 3:100 or 3/100.

59,000 is the total amount, the whole, so it corresponds to 100%.

The problem is asking:

59,000 is to 100 as what is to 3?

59,000/100 = x/3

Cross multiply:

100x = 59,000 * 3

100x = 177,000

x = 1770

The commission is $1770.
