Answer:
$36
Step-by-step explanation:
A percent is always out of 100, no matter what.
If you need to find the percent of something try cross multipling like this.
x/720 x 5/100
5 x 720 = 3600
100x = 3600
divide 3600 by 100
and you get 36
Answer: $36
Step-by-step explanation:
a) we are looking for 5% of $720 or looking for how much commission was already taken which also means 5% of $720. Answer a = $36
as 10% = $72 and 5% = 72/2 = $36
b) If the question says what was the original amount if 5% the commission was taken already. Here we do answer b) = 105% of 720 =756 756-720 5% = 36 and we already found the answer to be $756 if being asked for an original sum.
