Question

3. You sell storm windows and doors. You receive a straight

commission of 8% of the selling price of each storm window

and 12% of the selling price of each door. What total

commission will you receive for selling $5,400 in storm

windows and $28,790 in doors?

Answer 1

`\$3886.8`

Explanation:

Commission received on selling each storm window
`=8\%` of the selling price of each storm window

Commission received on selling each door
`=12\%` of the selling price of each door

Amount earned on selling storm windows = $5,400

Amount earned on selling doors = $28,790

Commission received on selling storm windows
`=(8)/(100)(5,400)=\$432`

Commission received on selling doors
`=(12)/(100)(28,790)=\$3454.8`

Therefore,

Total commission received
`=432+3454.8=\$3886.8`
