Question

Fabio is a video salesman. On each sale, he earns a commision of 12%. One of his customers bought a TV for $550 and a VCR for $400. How much did he earn in commisions?

Answer 1

Fabio earned a commission of $114 only.

Explanation:

Given:

Selling price of the TV =$550

Selling price of the VCR =$400

Commission earned by Fabio = 12 %

We have to find commission on each item.

So,

`12\%\ of\ $550 +12\% of\ \$400=0.12*\$550+0.12*\$400=(66+48)\$=114\$`

Commission earned by Fabio is the commission on each item.

Commission earned on selling of TV is =$66

Commission earned on selling of VCR=$48

Summation of both =
`(66+48)=\$114`

Fabio earned a commission of $114 only.
