commission at a gym\n1. for each gym membership sold, the gym keeps $42 and the employee who sold it gets $8. what is the commission the employee earned as a percentage of the total cost of the gym membership?\n2. if an employee sells a family pass for $135, what is the amount of the commission they get to keep?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate commission percentage for first part

We use the formula $\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Commission}}{\text{Total cost}}\times100%$. Given commission is $8$ and total cost is $42$. $\text{Percentage}=\frac{8}{42}\times100%=\frac{800}{42}% \approx 19.05%$

Step2: Calculate commission amount for second part

The employee gets a fixed - rate commission of $8$ per membership sold. So for a family pass sold at $135$, the commission amount is $8$.

Answer:

  1. Approximately $19.05%$
  2. $8$
