if she earns $248 on $1250 sale, what is commission rate?

[biglew]

Hello,

I'm hoping that someone can help me with the following word problem that involve using the Basic Percent Equation:

I. Ms. Donato earns $248 on a sale of $1,250. What is her rate of commission?

Thank you.

HINT: can you "see" that $12.50 would be a 1% comission?
