Question 1065786: A salesperson at Company Z makes 35% commission on all the items he or she sells. If last month a salesperson sold d dollars of merchandise, which expression can be used to calculate how much commission the salesperson earned? Answer by math_helper(2461) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For each dollar in sales, the salesperson makes 0.35 dollars (35 cents) in commission.
If the salesperson sells two dollars worth of merchandise, their commission will be 2(0.35) = 0.70 dollars.

This can be extended to 'd' dollars in sales:
For every d dollars, the salesperson makes dollars in commission.
