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

\bf \cfrac{1}{-5z^{-5}}\\\\&#10;-------------------------\\\\&#10;a^{-{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\qquad \qquad&#10;\cfrac{1}{a^{ n}}\implies a^{-{ n}}&#10;\\ \quad \\&#10;%  negative exponential denominator&#10;a^{{ n}} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^{- n}}&#10;\qquad \qquad &#10;\cfrac{1}{a^{- n}}\implies \cfrac{1}{\frac{1}{a^{ n}}}\implies a^{{ n}} \\\\&#10;-------------------------\\\\&#10;thus&#10;

\bf -\cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{z^{-5}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{\frac{1}{z^5}}\implies -\cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{\frac{1}{1}}{\frac{1}{z^5}}\implies -&#10;\cfrac{1}{5}\cdot \cfrac{1}{1}\cdot \cfrac{z^5}{1}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;-\cfrac{z^5}{5}
