Sure! Let's walk through the process step-by-step to find out how much commission Jeff can earn.
1. Identify the total amount from which the commission is to be calculated:
Jeff's total amount is [tex]\( 5400.00 \)[/tex].
2. Identify the commission rate:
The commission rate that Jeff earns is [tex]\( 15\% \)[/tex].
3. Convert the commission rate from a percentage to a decimal:
To do this, divide the percentage by 100.
[tex]\[
15\% = \frac{15}{100} = 0.15
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the commission:
Multiply the total amount by the decimal form of the commission rate.
[tex]\[
\text{Commission} = 5400.00 \times 0.15
\][/tex]
5. Perform the multiplication to find the commission amount:
[tex]\[
5400.00 \times 0.15 = 810.00
\][/tex]
Hence, Jeff can earn a commission of [tex]\( 810.00 \)[/tex].
