An interior decorator buys furniture at the "dealer price," but he charges his clients the "retail price" instead of charging a commission. A client pays $3,000 for furniture that had a "dealer price" of $2,500. To charge the client the same dollar amount, but calculating it as a commission, what commission rate would the decorator have to use?​

Dealer Price

The amount a dealer pays for a product or vehicle, which usually excludes any additional fees or markups before selling it to the end consumer.

Retail Price

The price at which goods or services are sold to the end consumer.

Commission Rate

The percentage or fixed payment associated with a transaction or sale that is given to the intermediary or salesperson.
