Answer 2

$234

Explanation:

First, we find the amount of sales above $2000.

$3925 - $2000 = $1925

The total sales amount of $3925 breaks down into:

$2000 at 4% commission

$1925 at 8% commission

Now we calculate the amounts of the commission:

4% of $2000 = 4% × $2000 = 0.04 × $2000 = $80

8% of $1925 = 8% × $1925 = 0.08 × $1925 = $154

Now we add the two parts of the commission:

total commission = $80 + $154 = $234

Answer: $234
