Answer 1

Sarosh receives 8% commission on the final price of clothing he sells.
A customer bought a $45 coat that was marked 20% off
=> 45 dollars * .20 = 9 dollars off.
=> 45 - 9 = 36 dollars is the new price
$95 suit that was marked 30% off.
=> 95 dollars * .30 = 28.5 dollars off
=> 95 dollars - 28.5 = 66.5 dollars

Total = 66.5 + 36 dollars = 102.5 dollars is the total amount
=> 102.5 * 0.08 = 8.2 dollars is her commission.
