Question

A sales lady earns 12% Commission on goods sold above sh 200,000.Calculate the value of goods sold if she earned sh 14400 as commission??

Answer 1

The value of goods would be 120,000
12% = 0.12
0.12 * 100 = 14,400 * 100
12 = 1,440,000
12/12 = 1,440,000/12
= 120,000
12% of 120,000 = 14,400

Hope this helps :3

Answer 2

she sold 120,000 above 200,000.
0.12 (x-200000) = 14400
x = 320,000
