The commission rate is 5%. Just take the commission and divide it by the total sale

That is 5%. $250 is half of $500 and $500 is 1/10 of $5000, so 1/2 of 1/10 is 1/20 or 5%. Think of % as division meaning per hundred. Thus 5% is 5 per hundred or 5/100. So you can take 250/5000. That is 250 per 5000 or 250 divided by 5000. If you factor out the common integers, 5,5, &2, meaning divide both numbers by 50, and the result is 5/100 or 5 per hundred or 5%.

5 per cent. Whenever figuring percentages, I use 10% and go from there. It is as simple as adding or taking away zeros.
good luck & bless
