Question

Juan ramirez sells suits in a major department store on weekends. He earns a commission of 5 percent on the first 10 suits, and if he sells more than 10, he earns an additional 3 percent on the additional suits. Last week juan sold 13 suits at a price of $250 each. What was his commission?

Answer 1

Juan Ramirez made $185.00

For the first 10 suits he made $12.50 each suit, then he made $20 for the additional 3.

250*.05=12.50

250*.08=20

12.50*10=125

3*20=60

125+60=185.
