Package 1 commission: _

Package 2 commission: _

Package 3 commission: _

Total commission: _

Answer 1

$241.5

Explanation:

To solve this, you have to compute the 3% of each package and then add the values of the three commissions, as follows:

package sales price commission

1 $2375 $2375*3/100 = $71.25

2 $3950 $3950*3/100 = $118.5

3 $1725 $1725*3/100 = $51.75

Total Commission = $71.25 + $118.5 + $51.75 = $241.5

Answer 2

package 1 - $2375 x 3% = $71.75
Package 2 - $3950 x 3% = $108.50
Package 3 - $1725 x 3% = 51.75
Total Commission = $241.50
