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
