Answer:

  $1,956.80

Step-by-step explanation:

For amounts over $6000, the commission can be computed as ...

  0.14s -300 . . . . . . for sales (s) ≥ 6000

So, for $16,120 in sales, the commission is ...

  0.14×$16,120 -300 = $2,256.80 -300 = $1,956.80

__

The commission schedule suggests that for larger amounts, you divide the problem into two parts: calculate the commission on $6000, and separately calculate the commission on the amount over $6000.

  0.14(s -6000) + 0.09(6000)

  = 0.14s - 0.14·6000 +0.09·6000

  = 0.14s -300 . . . . the formula used above for s ≥ 6000

Fantom [35]
To get you answer multiply the length and width twice. Then the length and height twice. Then the width and height twice. And add it all up.

7* 1.25= 8.75
7*6.5= 45.5
7*6.5= 45.5
6.5*1.25=8.125
6.5*1.25=8.125
