Problema Solution

A store priced a set of bunk beds at $50 and later marked it down 20 percent. Today, a salesperson named Sachet sold the set, earning a 5% commission on the sale price. How much commission did Sachet make?

Answer provided by our tutors

Sold Price: $50


New Sale Price: 50$ - 20% of $50 that is 50 - 0.20*50 = 0.80*50


5% commission on the New Sale Price: 0.05*0.80*50 = $2


Sashet made a commission of $2.
