Answer 1

The revenue that Yenni made is: $450 + $550 + $550 = $1550, that is, she sells a total of $1550 of electronics.

The commission is the 8% of $1550, which is computed as follows:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{1550\text{ \ }}{x\text{ \ }}=\frac{100\text{ \%}}{8\text{ \%}} \\ 1550\cdot8=100\cdot x \\ \frac{12400}{100}=x \\ 124\text{ \ = x} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, she makes $124 in commission
