Answer 2

Answer:

The sale clerk earn $122.20

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a book cost $350 and bed cost $590.

And we have to find that with a 13% commission rate, how much money did the sale clerk earn.

For this we will find the commission earned by the sale clerk on book and bed individually.

As we know that;

     Commission earned = Commission rate $\times$ Cost of an item

• Commission earned on sale of book costing $350 is;

      Commission earned = Commission rate $\times$ Cost of book

                                           = 13% $\times$ $350  

                                           = $\frac{13}{100} \times 350$ = $45.5

So, Commission earned on sale of book costing $350 is $45.5.

• Commission earned on sale of bed costing $590 is;

      Commission earned = Commission rate $\times$ Cost of bed

                                           = 13% $\times$ $590  

                                           = $\frac{13}{100} \times 590$ = $76.7

So, Commission earned on sale of book costing $350 is $76.7.

Therefore, money that the sale clerk earn = $45.5 + $76.7 = $122.20.
