Question

Gretchen works at a department store. She earns a 12% commission

on the perfume that she sells and a 6% commission on the clothes
that she sells. Gretchen sells $350 worth of perfume and $700 worth of clothes
in one day. What is her commission that day?

Answer 1

Answer: $84

Explanation:

Total Commission = Commission for Perfume + Commission for clothes
=12% of sales + 6% of sales
=12% of 350 + 6% of 700
=(350x12/100)+(700x6/100)
=(4200/100)+(4200/100)
=42+42
=$84
