How much commission will Elsa earn if she sells $5200 worth of furniture?

a. $192.40

b. $134.80

c. $196.00

d. $185.60

Answer:

Elsa will earn $192.40 in commission for selling $5200 worth of furniture.

Elsa works in the furniture department of a store and earns a commission of 3.7%. If she sells $5200 worth of furniture this week, her commission can be calculated by finding 3.7% of $5200.

To calculate her commission, we first convert 3.7% to decimal form by dividing it by 100, which gives us 0.037. Then, we multiply 0.037 by $5200 to find Elsa's commission.

Calculation:

3.7% = 0.037

Commission = 0.037 x $5200 = $192.40

Therefore, Elsa will earn $192.40 in commission for selling $5200 worth of furniture.
