Answer:
$9,102
Step-by-step explanation:
Ingrid Sering sells two types of garden fountains on a straight commission basis. On one fountain that sells for $869, she gets a commission of $174. On the other fountain that sells for $1,260, she gets $252.During a 3-month selling season, Ingrid sold 19 of the lower-priced fountains and 23 of the higher-priced fountains. What were her total commissions for three months
From the question above, we have the following information:
On one fountain that sells for $869 = she gets a commission of $174( the lower-priced fountains)
On the other fountain that sells for $1,260 = she gets $252 ( the higher-priced fountains)
Ingrid sold 19 of the lower-priced fountains)
1 fountain sold = $174 of commission
19 fountains sold =
$174 × 19
= $3,306
She also sold 23 of the higher-priced fountains)
1 higher priced fountains = $252
23 higher priced fountains =
$252 × 23
= $5,796
Hence, the Total commission Ingrid made = Total commission on Lower priced fountains + Total commission on Higher priced fountains
= $3,306 + $5,796
= $9,102
Therefore, the total commission Ingrid made = $9,102
