A salesperson sold 24 laptops at a 6% discount. Calculate her commission based on the tiered structure: 0% up to 500,000, 3% for 500,001-750,000, 5% for 750,001-1,000,000, and 8% above 1,000,000.

You're on a roll — Here's the solution to the problem: a) During one month, she sold 24 laptops at 6% discount. Calculate: a) (i) The amount of commission she earned in that month. Step 1: Calculate the selling price of one laptop after the discount. Original price per laptop = Ksh. 42,000. Discount = 6%. Discount amount per laptop = 0.06 × 42,000 = 2,520 Ksh. Selling price per laptop = 42,000 - 2,520 = 39,480 Ksh. Step 2: Calculate the total sales value for 24 laptops. Total sales = 39,480 × 24 = 947,520 Ksh. Step 3: Calculate the commission based on the total sales value. The commission structure is: • For sales up to Ksh. 500,000: 0% commission. • For the first Ksh. 250,000 above Ksh. 500,000 (i.e., from Ksh. 500,001 to Ksh. 750,000): 3% commission. • For the next Ksh. 250,000 (i.e., from Ksh. 750,001 to Ksh. 1,000,000): 5% commission. • For any amount above Ksh. 1,000,000: 8% commission. Commission calculation for Ksh. 947,520: • Sales up to Ksh. 500,000: No commission. • Sales from Ksh. 500,001 to Ksh. 750,000 (Ksh. 250,00
