You can calculate 20% of a number (or any percentage of a number by moving the decimal one place to the left in both number) so 20% of 80 = 2x8 = 16. He made $16 on one pair of $80 shoes. So for selling two pairs of $80 shoes, he made $32. He then sold 3 pairs of $70. 2x7 = 14. 14x3 = 42. He made $42 on the three pairs of $70 shoes so 42 + 32 = 74. He made 74 dollars in commission

He earns a commission of 74 dollars.

What is the commission?

A fee is paid to an agent or employee for transacting a piece of business or performing a service.

How to solve it?

He sold 2 pairs of shoes for 80$ each

which means 160$

and 3 pairs of shoes for $70 each

which means 210$.

so his sales total 370$.

20% of 370$ is 74$
