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? followup: If an employee sells a family pass for $135, what is the amount of the commission they get to keep?

1st question = 16%

2nd question = $21.60

Step-by-step explanation:

the full price would be 50, since the total is split in $8 to the employee and $42 to the gym

so then you find what percentage of 50 is 8, which is 16%

and so this means the employee gets 16% of the income

so then for the second question, you'd then find 16% of $135, which is $21.60

7.25

step-by-step explanation:

we know that 7 equals to 7.0. we also know that 1/4=0.25. so we can add the two together and we get 7.25
