SOLUTION

Since she receives 6.5% commission on all her sales and sold $14,500 worth of goods in a month, her commission for the month will be calculated as

[tex]\frac{6.5}{100}\times14,500[/tex]

Because percentage represents over 100.

So, this becomes

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{6.5}{100}\times14,500 \\ \\ =942.50 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So the correct answer is option C
