Demetrius is a salesman whose base pay plus commissions amounted to
$51,162 last year. if his base pay was $26,610 and he made $79,200 in sales
last year, what was his rate of commission?

A commission rate of 31%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C represent commission rate he earned.

The equation therefore becomes 26,610 + C*79,200= 51,162

Then solve for C by first subtracting 26,610 from both sides;

79,200C = 51,162 - 26,610

79,200C= 24,552

Next, divide both sides by 79,200 to get;

C=24,552 / 79,200

C= 0.31 or 31%

Therefore, Demetrius earned a commission rate of 31%.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
