Problem 2: Tracey’s Total Commission
Tracey sold:
- Denim dress:
$75.00 →
2% commission
- T-shirt:
$20.99 →
3% commission
Calculate each:
Dress commission:
> 2% of $75.00 = 0.02 × 75 =
$1.50
T-shirt commission:
> 3% of $20.99 = 0.03 × 20.99 =
$0.6297 → Round to nearest cent =
$0.63
Total commission:
> $1.50 + $0.63 =
$2.13
✔ Answer:
$2.13

Problem 3: Ryan’s Total Commission
Ryan sold:
- Cuban link gold chain:
$15,700.00 →
1% commission
- Gold watch:
$42,080.00 →
0.2% commission
(Note: The problem says “two Apple products” — this is likely a typo, since it mentions jewelry items. We’ll proceed with the given numbers.)
Chain commission:
> 1% of $15,700.00 = 0.01 × 15,700 =
$157.00
Watch commission:
> 0.2% of $42,080.00 = 0.002 × 42,080 =
$84.16
Total commission:
> $157.00 + $84.16 =
$241.16
✔ Answer:
$241.16
