Answer 1

Answer: Sh. 9540

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have to calculate the cost of the total things sold. This'll be:

12 television at sh. 15,500 each = sh. 186000

8 D.V.D player at sh. 5,650 = sh. 45200

4 refrigerators at sh. 21,700 each = sh. 86800

Total cost = sh. 186000 + sh. 45200 + sh. 86800 = sh. 318000

Since the sales lady is paid commission at the rate of 3% on all goods she sells, the total commission that she earned

in that month will be:

= 3% × sh. 318000

= 0.03 × sh. 318000

= Sh. 9540
