Answer 1

`\begin{array}c \cline{1-1} \textit{\textit{\LARGE a}\% of \textit{\LARGE b}}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ \left( \cfrac{\textit{\LARGE a}}{100} \right)\cdot \textit{\LARGE b} \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}~\hspace{5em}\stackrel{\textit{10\% of 6000}}{\left( \cfrac{10}{100} \right)6000}\implies 600`

Answer 2

GHC 600

Explanation:

We have

`\boxed{\tt Commission\: Amount =( (Total \:Sales * Commission\: Percentage) )/(100)}`

Total Sales: The total amount of sales made by the shopkeeper.

In this case, it is GHC 6,000.

Commission Percentage: The percentage of the total sales that the shopkeeper receives as commission.

In this case, it is 10%.

Plugging in the values, we get the following:

`\tt Commission\: Amount = ((6000 * 10) )/(100)`

= GHC 600

Therefore, the shopkeeper's commission is GHC 600.
