Solution

To calculate the commission, you need to multiply the total amount of sales by the commission rate.

Step 1: Convert the commission rate from a percentage to a decimal. 6% becomes 0.06.

Step 2: Multiply the total sales by the commission rate. 80000.06=8000 * 0.06 = 480.

So, the saleswoman earned $480 in commission last month.
