Answer:

$810 in commission

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Make a proportion. Method: Percent proportion

[tex]\frac{percent}{100} = \frac{part}{whole}[/tex]

2. your proportion should look like this. Note: we don't know how much commission he earned.

[tex]\frac{9}{100} =\frac{x}{9000}[/tex]

3. cross-multiply. Multiply 9 x 9000 and make 100x because we don't know its value yet. Hint: X is our unknown commission.

[tex]9000[/tex] × [tex]9[/tex] = [tex]81000[/tex]

4. set your new proportion.

[tex]\frac{100x}[/tex] [tex]=[/tex] [tex]\frac{81000}[/tex]

5. divide the proportion by 100 on each side.

[tex]\frac{100x}{100} = \frac{81000}{100}[/tex]

6. After dividing your proportion.
