Kirk earned $9.70 from commission.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Kirk earns a 10% commission. He also sold a camera that was worth $97.

Commission is an added payment based usually on the number of sales that a person makes. Therefore, say for every 10 sales, someone can earn a 5% commission.

Since Kirk earns a 10% commission, this is the same as finding 10% of the total sales and then adding this to receive a total sum.

However, if you simply add the percentage to 100% of the sales (e.g., 100% + 5% = 105%), this gives you the total plus the new amount.

We have to divide our percentage by 100 to place it in decimal form.

After it is in decimal form, we can multiply the decimal by the total sales price in order to get the price and the added commission.

Finally, we can subtract the sales price from the total price to get the money that Kirk earned from commission.

Therefore, Kirk earned $9.70 from commission.
