Rikki earned $87 commission on a $1,450 stove sale. What rate of commission did she earn?

1. Divide the commission by the sale price: 87 divided by 1,450. 2. This gives 0.06. 3. Move the decimal point two places to the right and add a percent sign: 6%. 4. So the commission rate was 6%, not 8.7%, which would come from a mistaken division order. _Source: OpenStax Prealgebra (CC BY 4.0), Ch 6 "Percents", section 6.3 Solve Sales Tax, Commission, and Discount Applications_
