- x% of $1,800, hence $1,800*x/100
- $20 for each of the first 10 printers sold, hence $20*10 = $200
- $30 for each printer sold thereafter, hence $30*(12 - 10) = $60
Hence, $1,800*x/100 + $200 + $60 = $305:
$1,800*x/100 = $45
x = 45/18
x = 2.5

bb , Bunuel MartyMurray, In the question it was said that total selling price is 1800$. The commission was earned on the s.p of each printer and not on the total S.P. Kindly check the highlghted portion and the solution provided. It seems you calculated on the total s.p wherein the question asked to calculate it on each printer's s.p. Thank you in advance ,

Hence, $1,800*x/100 + $200 + $60 = $305:
$1,800*x/100 = $45
x = 45/18
x = 2.5
