A watch salesman earns a commission of 40% of all watch sales made. Yesterday he sold 5 watches for $60 each and 4 watches for $40 each. How much did he earn in commission yesterday?

Respuesta :

Answer:

He earns $184 in commission yesterday.

Step-by-step explanation:

A watch salesman earns a commission 40% of all watch sales made.

He sold yesterday 5 watches = $60.00 each

Price of 5 watches = 60.00 × 5 = $300

4 watches = $40.00 each

Price of 4 watches = 40.00 × 4 = $160

Total sales made = 300 + 160 = $460

His commission is 40% of the sales = 40% × 460

                                                          = 0.40 × 460 = $184

He earns $184 in commission yesterday.
