A salesperson's commission rate is 5 %. What is the commission from the sale of $ 44,000 worth of furnaces? Use pencil and paper. Suppose sales would double. What would be true about the commission? Explain without using any calculations.

So, for the first question, you just want to multiply 5% by 44,000 to find how much is 5% of 44,000.

5% = 0.05

0.05 * 44,000 = 2,200

So the salesperson makes 2,200 dollars from the sale of 44,000.

If sales doubled, then she would make the double amount.
