Question

You sell face masks and face shields. You receive a straight commission of 32% for the selling price for every face mask and 13% for face shields. What total commission would you receive for selling $2,300 worth of face mosks and $1,250 worth of face shields.

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Mask commission = 32% = 0.32

Shield commission = 13% = 0.13

Mask sale = $2,300

Shield sale = $1,250

`\begin{gathered} TotalCommission=(MaskCommission\cdot MaskSale)+ \\ (ShieldCommission\cdot ShieldSale) \\ TotalCommission=(0.32\cdot2300)+(0.13\cdot1250)=736+162.5 \\ TotalCommission=898.5 \end{gathered}`

It implies that you will receive a total commission of $898.50
