Question

A store pays a 6% commission on the first $500 in sales and 8% on sales over $500. Find the commission on an $800 sale.

Answer 1

800 = 500 + 300

so this will receive the 500 commission + commission above 500

commission for 500 = (6/100)*500 = 30

commission for above 500 ( there is 300 above 500 in this instance) = (8/100)*300 = 24

so the total commission is = 30 + 24 = 56

hope this will help ya !!
