Shirts: 3 x 15.50 = 46.50
120 - 46.50 = 73.50 left to spend on shoes
73.50/32.50(cost per pair) = 2.26....so he was able to purchase 2 pairs of shoes.
We need to separate his total earnings out into the different categories:
Category 1 (2%): 30,000
Category 2 (3%): 60,000-30,000 = 30,000
Category 3 (5%): 92,000-60,000 = 32,000
To calculate a percentage we multiply by that percentage divided by 100.
Now we can work out the commissions:
1) 30,000*0.02 = $600
2) 30,000*0.03 = $900
3) 32,000*0.05 = $1600
Adding these together, we get $3100
You’ll get your answer by adding +7 to each number.
T = C + I + G
G = T - C - I
