Answer 1

Explanation:

1. 4% commission on $1400

= 4/100*1400

=0.04*1400

=$56

2. 3% commission on $800

= 3/100*800

=0.03*800

=$24

total earnings = 56+24

total earnings = $80

1. 4% commission on $pp

= 4/100*pp

=0.04*pp

=0.04pp

2. 3% commission on $cc

= 3/100*cc

=0.03*cc

=0.03cc

total earnings = 0.04pp+0.03cc
