A car salesperson earns a 7% commission on each car sold. If the salesperson sells a car for ₱1,200,000, how much commission does the salesperson earn?


₱84,000


₱7,400


₱7,000


₱70,000

To calculate the commission, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Commission} = \text{Sale Price} \times \text{Commission Rate}
\]

Here, the sale price is ₱1,200,000, and the commission rate is 7%, or 0.07 as a decimal.

\[
\text{Commission} = 1,200,000 \times 0.07 = 84,000
\]
