    Answer:

    Kirk earned $9.70 from commission.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We are given that Kirk earns a 10% commission. He also sold a camera that was worth $97.

    Commission is an added payment based usually on the number of sales that a person makes. Therefore, say for every 10 sales, someone can earn a 5% commission.

    Since Kirk earns a 10% commission, this is the same as finding 10% of the total sales and then adding this to receive a total sum.

    However, if you simply add the percentage to 100% of the sales (e.g., 100% + 5% = 105%), this gives you the total plus the new amount.

    We have to divide our percentage by 100 to place it in decimal form.

    \displaystyle \frac{110\%}{100} = 1.10

    After it is in decimal form, we can multiply the decimal by the total sales price in order to get the price and the added commission.

    \displaystyle 1.10 \times \$97 = \$106.70

    Finally, we can subtract the sales price from the total price to get the money that Kirk earned from commission.

    106.70-97 = \$9.70

    Therefore, Kirk earned $9.70 from commission.
