The question said that Juan earns 5 percent on the first ten suits sold. Commission earned on the first ten 250.00 dollars suits = 5% of 250.00 times 10 suits = 0.05 x 250 x 10 = $125.00. The question said that he earns an additional 3 percent on additional suits exceeding 10 suits making a total of 8 percent. Since Juan sold 13 suits, he sold 3 additional suits. 8% of 250.00 times 3 suits = 0.08 x 250 x 3 = $60. Therefore, total commision = $125 + $60 = $185.00
