Christine makes money by commission rate. She gets a 12% commission on all items she sells. This month, she sold $24000 worth of items. Sixty percent of all her earning will be allocated to her personal needs and the rest will be saved. How much did she save this month? Give me reasons, before answering the question
This month, Christine earned a commission of 12 / 100 x $24000 = $2880. She allocated 60 / 100 x $2880 = $1728 on her personal needs. Therefore, she saved $2880 - $1728 = $1152 this month. So the final answer is 1152.
