Lori was paid a 15 percent commission for the home audio system that she sold. The electronics store had marked up the price of the system by 60 percent over the wholesale price of $264. How much did Lori earn for the sale of the home audio system?

Answer
A
$15.84
B
$23.76
C
$39.60
D
$63.36

Explanation

The store marked the $264 wholesale price up by 60%, so the selling price was $264 × 1.60 = $422.40. Lori earned 15% of the selling price: $422.40 × 0.15 = $63.36. The correct choice is $63.36.
