Total value of shoes sold=$370

Step 2: Calculate how much the shoe salesman earns

The expression for how much the shoes salesman will earn is as follows;

A=r×c

where;

A=total amount of the shoe salesman income

r=commission rate

c=total value of sales

In our case;

A=unknown

r=20%=20/100=0.2

c=$370

A=20% of $370

A=0.2×370

A=74
