Juan Ramirez sells suits in a major department store on weekends. He earns a commission of 5 percent on the first ten suits, and

if he sells more than ten, he earns an additional 3 percent on the additional suits. Last weekend Juan sold thirteen $250 suits. What was his commission?

So, the first 10 suits came with a commission of 5%, so for each suit it was:

250*5%

this is \frac{250*5}{100} = \frac{25*5}{10} = \frac{25}{2} =12.5

but this counts for 10 suits, so together his commssion was 10*12.5=125 dollars

and the "extra" 3 suits came with a comittion of 5+3 percent, so 8 percent, which is


 
 \frac{250*8}{100} = \frac{25*8}{10} = \frac{25*4}{5} =20

for each suit, and 60 in total.

his total comission was 125+60=185 dollars.

An investor plans to invest $500 a year and expects to get a 10.5% return. If the investor makes these contributions at the end
taurus [48]

The present value of the investment is $6000.

According to the statement

Principal amount = $500

and Return amount = 10.5%

Time period = 20 years.

Now we find the present value of money then

By the formula

PV = P[1-(1+r)^n]/r

PV = 500[1-(1+0.10)^20]/0.10

PV = 6000

So, The present value of the investment is $6000.
