Oh how badly this forum needs an update so a person can edit their post. So my question is:

How can I use a number in a choice field as a multiplier of a number field?

Assuming your choice field exists of numbers, we first take the text part of that choice field 'text(choicefield)' and than make it a number so we can calculate with it 'number()' see the complete formula below to put in a formula field.

number(text(Choicefield)) * NumberField

Steven, that works great. Thanks. I would like to take this a bit further. My choice field is for commission rates with entries like 50%, 40%, 30%. The formula number(text(Choicefield)) * NumberField works for numbers, but not for numbers with a % sign. Is there a way to strip out the % sign?
