Sarosh receives an 8% commission on the final price of the clothing he sells. A customer bought a $45.00 coat that was marked 20% off and a $95.00 suit that was marked 30% off. What would Sarosh's commission be on that customer's purchase?

You must find the discounted price of both items:
20% of $45 is $9. Subtract 9 from 45 to get $36 as the final price of the coat.
30% of $95 is $28.50. Subtract 28.50 from 95 to get $66.50 as the final price of the suit.
To find the commission Sarosh earns, first add the final prices of the items together: 36+66.50= $102.50
Now take 8% of the total price: 0.08 x 102.50= $8.20
Sarosh earned $8.20 commission on the purchase.

20% of $45 is $9

$9 - $45 = $36 total cost of coat

30% of $95 is $28.50

$28.50 - 95 = $66.50 total cost of suit

$36 + $66.50 = $102.50 sarosh earn

102.50 * 0.08 = $ 8.20


final answer is $ 8.20 ;
