In this question, we're trying to find how much a sale clerk earns from a sale.
We know that the DVD player costs $250
We also know that the TV costs $600
The sales clerk has a 19% commission rate, this is the money that they make from the sale.
To find the money the sales clerk got from the sale, we have to add the total spending and multiply it by 0.19
250 + 600 = 850
850 · 0.19 = 161.5
This means that the sales clerk made $161.50 in commission from the sale.
Answer:
$161.50
