Answer:

$ 474 is left.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The amount at which the items are sold  = $ 6,300,

Also, commission percentage = 8 %,

Thus, commission = 8% of 6300

[tex]=\frac{8\times 6300}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{50400}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 504[/tex]

Now, deducted tax percentage on commission = 6%,

Hence, the left amount of commission = commission - 6% of the commission

[tex]=504-\frac{6\times 504}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=504-\frac{3024}{100}[/tex]

[tex]=504-30.24[/tex]

[tex]=\$ 473.76[/tex]

[tex]\approx \$ 474[/tex]
