He will earn the following amount:
[tex]x=(15.725)(0.0425)\Rightarrow x=0.6683125\Rightarrow x\approx0.67[/tex]So, he will earn a commission of approximately $0.67.
***Explanation***
*Since we are given that he will earn the 4.25% commission for each sale and he sold $15.725 we will operate as follows:
*The $15.725 will represent 100% of the price of the sale, and we will want to find what is 4.25% of that:
*We then multiply the total cost of the sale ($15.725) times the percentage we want to obtain (4-25%) and divide that by the percentage that the whole sale represents (100%), that is:
[tex]x=\frac{15.725\cdot4.25}{100}\Rightarrow x=15.725\cdot(0.0425)\Rightarrow x=0.6683125[/tex]So, we round to the nearest cent:
[tex]\Rightarrow x\approx0.67[/tex]So, the commission that he will earn for the $15.725 sale is approximately $0.67.
