12.
20/100 * 500 = $100
25/100 * 1000 = $250
total commission = $350
13. Buying price = $ 160
he sold 100 pens for = $180
75/100 * 60 * 1.80 = $ 81
$ 180+ $ 81 = $261
profit = $ 261 - $ 160 = $ 101 ( the answer not sure) but tried my best to solve.

The Salesman Q
$500*0.2 + $1000*0.25 = $350
The Shopkeeper Q
Cost = 160 * $1 = $160
Selling price = 0.8*$1 + $1 = $1.8
Sales= 100 * $1.8 + 60 * 0.75 * $1.8 = $261
Profit = $261 - $160 = $101

20% of 500 is 100.
1,500-500=1000
25% of 1000 is 250
250 + 100 = 350
total commision is $350,
2nd question...
1 x 160 = 160
1.8 x 1= 1.8
1.8 x 100 = 180
1.8 * .75 = 1.35
1.35 * 60 = 81
81 + 180 = 261
261 - 160 = 101
Total profit is $101
