what is 15,000 of 24,000? like what percent it is?

Question

I need to find jobs that pay commission and they gave me this info:

Base pay: 24,000-36,000 per year
Commission: 15, 000

my teacher wants me to find what percent of 24,000 is 15,000
please someone help me to do this!!

Answer 1

15000
--------- x 100% = 62.5%
24000

If it helps, try walking through it:
"15,000" --> 15,000
"is" --> =
"what" --> n
"percent" --> / 100
"of" --> x
"24,000" --> 24,000

So that makes the following equation:

15,000 = (n / 100) x 24000

Now solve for n:
15000 .... n
--------- = -----
24000 .. 100

15000
--------- x 100 = n
24000

This is the same as my original equation
n = 62.5%

Answer 2

5/8 = 62.5%

15,000 ÷ 24,000 = 15÷24 = 5÷8 = 5/8
5/8 * 100/1 = 62.5%
dont tell your teacher lol

Answer 3

% is (15,000 / 24,000) x 100
= 15/24 x 100
= 5/8 x 100
= 0.625 x 100
= 62.5%

Answer 4

5/8 = 62.5%

15,000 ÷ 24,000 = 15÷24 = 5÷8 = 5/8
5/8 * 100/1 = 62.5%

Answer 5

15,000/24,000 = 0.625

than to convert from decimal to percent you multiply 100.
so 0.625 X 100 = 62.5%

its not hard. and to work backwards lets say you want to find out what 62.5% of 24,000 is.

you convert 62.5% to decimal by moving the decimal point two spots like this: 62.5% ---> 6.25---> .625
than you mulitply .625 x 24,000 and you get ... 15,000

study hard!!

Answer 6

Assume x percent of 24000 is 15000.
24000(x/100 )=15000
240x=15000
x=15000/240=1500/24=62.5 %
