On every sale she makes, Maria earns a commission. On a computer that she sells for $591, Maria earns a $43 commission. Find the percent commission, rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

Let p represent the commission percentage. Then we can translate the problem statement into words and symbols.
Commission is what percent of sales price
43=591p
To isolate an unknown value p, divide both sides by 591. Carry the division to four decimal places.
