Real-Life Math -- Solution
As the online producer, you must figure out the amount of money
you made from advertising last month.
Figuring out money made is just
one way web producers use math. "We calculate...the click-through rates on
banner ads, the percentage commission we receive on sales, the number of pages
viewed per visitor per session, just to name a few ways," says Amy Strycula.
She is the creative director of Coolshopping.com.

$0.06
x 55 referrals = $3.30
Undergarments.com
$0.07 x 320 =
$22.40
Save the Wildlife
$0.03 x 108 = $3.24
Surfboardsandgear.com
$0.15
x 498 = $74.70
Subtotal = $3.30 + $22.40 + $3.24 + $74.70
Subtotal
= $103.64
Don't forget to calculate the amount for
actual purchases:
Undergarments.com
$3 x 30 =
$90
Surfboardsandgear.com
$5 x 122 = $610
Subtotal
= $90 + $610
Subtotal = $700
Grand total = $103.64 + $700
Grand
total = $803.64
So what is the salesperson's commission?
$803.64
x 0.25 = $200.91
The salesperson's commission is $200.91.
