Answer: $357

Explanation:

Given , The rate of commission earned by Mike on selling 1 TV set = 8.5%= 0.085 [ To convert percent into decimal we divide it by 100]

Cost of 1 TV = $120

Then , Commission he earns on selling 1 TV = (Rate of commission) x(Cost of 1 TV)

= (0.085) x (120)

= $10.2

That means , the commission he will earn on selling 365 TV sets = 35 x (Commission he earns on selling 1 TV )

= 35 x (10.2) = $357

Hence, he will make $357 as commission if store sells 35 TV sets.
