Answer:

The shoe salesman will earn a commission of=$74

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Value of sales

Express the total value of sale the shoe salesman makes as follows;

Total value of sales=number of shoes sold×price per shoe

where;

Number of shoes sold and price per shoe=2 pairs each at $80

number of shoes sold a and price per shoe=3 pairs each at $70

replacing;

Total value of shoes sold=(2×80)+(3×70)=$370

Total value of shoes sold=$370

Step 2: Calculate how much the shoe salesman earns

The expression for how much the shoes salesman will earn is as follows;

A=r×c

where;

A=total amount of the shoe salesman income

r=commission rate

c=total value of sales

In our case;

A=unknown

r=20%=20/100=0.2

c=$370

Step 3: Substitute values in the expression

A=20% of $370

A=0.2×370

A=74

The shoe salesman will earn a commission of=$74

So the answer is 2/3

Here’s the other question... I also have more
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

2 1/3!

Step-by-step explanation:

If you are subtracting fractions that both have a common denominator, think of it like this. so, if you are confused with whole numbers, why not make it improper? multiply the bottom number by the big number next to it, and add the top 2, which should give you 8/3. then subtract 1/3, which is 7/3, and if you simplify it, it should give you 1 1/3! :D
