It is mention in question that Mrs. Hollern earn 8.5% as commission for every piece of Necklace she sells

Now she sells a necklace cost $ 4,600.

so as per her commission she will take 8.5% of total necklace cost

I.e
`(8.5*4600)/(100)`

Or,
`(39100)/(100)`

Or, $ 391

So it is found that she will get $391 as commission .
