Question

Mason sells life insurance policies. He earns a 12 percent commission on every policy he sells. He made the following sales this week: Monday $425.00, Tuesday $694.25, Wednesday $296.14, Thursday $501.85, and Friday $358.76. What is his commission for the week?

Answer 1

Answer: Mason made $185.00

Explanation:

For the first 10 suits he made $12.50 each suit, then he made $20 for the additional 3. (Just ignore the "suits part ._.)

250*.05=12.50

250*.08=20

12.50*10=125

3*20=60

125+60=185.
