To find the amount of money Chris earns, we need to calculate 3% of $59,000.

To do this, we can set up a proportion using the commission rate as the ratio.

Let's represent the commission Chris earns as "x":

3% is equivalent to 3/100, so we can set up the proportion:

(3/100) = x/59000

To solve the proportion, we can cross multiply:

3 * 59000 = 100 * x

177,000 = 100x

To solve for "x," we divide both sides of the equation by 100:

177,000 / 100 = x

1770 = x

Therefore, Chris earns $1,770 as his commission.
