A sales associate earned a commission of $26.40 for sales totaling $220.00.

Which proportion could be used to find the commission amount for sales totaling $515.00?


26.4/220=x/515

x/26.4=220/515

220/x=26.4/515

26.4/220=515/x

Answer:

The first option

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

We want to find the correct proportion. 26.40/220 is the correct proportion for the amount earned because the associate earned $26.40 out of $220. The term "out of" is division.

Now, we have to match the format, where the commissions are the numerator, and the total is the denominator.

So we have x in the numerator (the same as 26.40) and 515 in the denominator (the same as 220).

This would be the first option : [tex]\frac{26.40}{220} = \frac{x}{515}[/tex]

Let's use ratios

  • Let that be x

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail \dfrac{26.40}{220}=\dfrac{x}{515}[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 0.12=x/515[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=515(0.12)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \rm\rightarrowtail x=61.8[/tex]

Option A
