D.$10,540

D. $10,540

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 20% of $24,900 is $4,980

2. 20% of $27,800 is $5,560

3. Add $4,980 to $5,560

4. Answer is $10,540 in commission

$719.95

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the purchase total, multiply the price by the percent paid and add the percent of tax.

The store offers a 20% discount. This means you pay 80% of the price. So the discounted price is 0.80(849) = 679.2.

Find the tax to be paid by multiplying 0.06(679.2) = 40.752.

Add the tax for the final total.

679.2 + 40.752 = 719.95
