    Her comission for that sale was $47.44

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Since she sold the bed for $ 593 we need to find how much is 8 % of that in order to know the amount of her comission. We can calculate that in two ways, the first one would be using a rule of 3 where 593 is to 100% as x is to 8 %, this method can be seen bellow:

    593 - > 100%

    x - > 8%

    x = (593*8) / 100 = $47.44

    Or we can transform 8 % to decimal and multiplying it to the total amount of the sale, we convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it by 100. So we have:

    p = 8%/100 = 0.08

    x = 593*0.08 = $47.44

    Her comission for that sale was $47.44
