Question

uan Ramirez sells suits in a major department store on weekends. He earns a commission of 5% on the first 10 suits he sells. If he sells more than 10, he earns another 3% on the additional suits. Last weekend Juan sold 13 suits priced at $250 each. What was his commission?

A. $185.00
B. $147.50
C. $260.00
D. $210.40

Answer 1

It is A, $185. Because (10 suits x $250 = $2500 x 5%= $125) + (3 suits x $250 = $750 x 8% = $60.00) = $185.00 :)
