An insurance company pays its agents 40% commission on the first year’s premium and 5% on the second year’s premium for life insurance policies. if the premiums are 500$ per year, what is the total commission that will be paid during the two years?

The total commission that will be paid during the two years is $ 225

Solution:

Given that insurance company pays its agents 40% commission on the first year’s premium and 5% on the second year’s premium for life insurance policies

The premiums are 500$ per year

Commission on first year:

40% commission on the first year’s premium

Thus 40 % commission on $ 500

Thus commission paid for first year is $ 200

Commission on second year:

5 % commission on the second year’s premium

Thus 5 % commission on 500

Thus commission paid for second year is $ 25

Total commission paid = $ 200 + $ 25 = 225

Thus Total commission paid is $ 225

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
