About this resource
This quiz focuses on commission calculations, a practical application of percentages that falls squarely within 7th grade mathematics curriculum. Students need a solid understanding of percentage operations, including converting percentages to decimals, multiplying decimals, and working with inverse operations to solve for unknown variables. The questions assess three distinct types of commission problems: finding commission amount when given sales total and commission rate, calculating total sales when given commission earned and rate, and determining commission rate when given sales total and commission earned. Students must demonstrate fluency with the commission formula (Commission = Sales × Rate) and its algebraic manipulations. The complexity progresses from straightforward multiplication problems to more challenging scenarios requiring students to set up and solve equations, making this appropriate for students who have mastered basic percentage calculations and are ready for real-world applications involving proportional reasoning. Created by Sara Fitzgerald, a Mathematics teacher in US who teaches grade 7. This quiz serves as an excellent tool for reinforcing percentage applications through real-world scenarios that students can easily relate to and understand. The problems can be effectively used as guided practice during initial instruction on commission calculations, allowing teachers to model problem-solving strategies and mathematical reasoning. As homework assignments, these questions provide students with essential practice in recognizing different types of commission problems and selecting appropriate solution methods. The quiz works particularly well for formative assessment, helping teachers identify which students have mastered the three key commission calculation types and which students need additional support with percentage-to-decimal conversion or algebraic manipulation. This content directly supports Common Core State Standards 7.RP.A.3, which requires students to use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems, and aligns with the mathematical practices of modeling with mathematics and attending to precision in calculations.
