First you need to understand the structure of the commission. 
The first part is 6% commission on sales up to $500. 
The second part is 8% commission on sales over $500. 

Note that the second part doesn't mean that a sale of $800 gets 8% of $800. 

It means that once we have reached $500, any *further* sales get 8%. 
Since $800 is $300 more than $500, the commission is 

6% of $500 + 
8% of $300 

The first thing she did was work out the excess above $500. 
Then she worked out the two percentages in two separate parts. 

The second part seems to have incurred a cut and past accident, not sure if that is yours or it was already done.

Can i have help please. Step by step

Answer: It's in the step-by step explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I just learned about this too. I'll use what I know to help you out.

According to whatever law of the circle, where you have two intersecting lines within the bounds of a circle(that'd be TQ and SW), the product of the divided segments will equal each other.

So to put that in terms, TU times QU = SU times WU.

So let's get the value of segment TU, which is 1.5

Then let's get the value of segment of QU, which is 4.

Now let's get the value of WU, which is 3. We don't know what SU is yet. So put it in algebraic form.

1.5(4)=3x

6=3x

2=x
