juan sells suits in a dept store and earns a commission of 5%on the first ten suits and if he sells more than ten he earns an additional 3% on the additional suits if he sold 13 $250 suits what is his commission?Type your answer here...
The correct answer is B. $185.00
I shall take it that the commission Juan earns is 5% per suit up to ten, and then 5% + 3% (= 8%) on any number more than ten.

He sold thirteen altogether but we need to split this into two lots:

10 suits at 250.00 = 2,500.00

.......................................................5% of 2,500.00 = 125.00

03 suits at 250.00 = 750.00

............................................................8% of 750.00 = 60.00

125.00 + 60.00 = 185.00
