Answer:
$1530 = 45% commission
Step-by-step explanation:
First, jot down the important facts:
• first $1000 = 10% comm.
• next $2000 = 15% comm.
• total more than $3000 = 20% comm.
• total comm. = $3400
Then, go in order with your jotted facts to withdraw the total commission amount. Here's what I mean:
$3400 ← total is more than $3000 = +20% comm.
<u>- $1000</u> ← the first $1000 = +10% comm.
$2400
<u>- $2000</u> ← the next $2000 = +15% comm.
$400
Then, add together the commission percentages:
20% + 10% + 15% = 45% comm.
Convert the percentage to a decimal:
45% × 100 = 0.45
And multiply it with the total amount to find the commission amount:
$3400 × 0.45 = $1530
2.873 ≈2.9 (nearest tenth)
