Answer :

The salesperson earns a commission of $391

The total amount of merchandise that he sold is $2300

The commission rate is given by

[tex]r=\frac{\text{commission amount}}{\text{ sold amount}}[/tex][tex]r=\frac{\$391}{\$2300}=0.17[/tex]

To convert the rate into percentage, multiply with 100%

[tex]r=0.17\cdot100=17\%[/tex]

Therefore, the commission rate is 17%.
