Total sales for this month are:

[tex] 43,000
[/tex]

We can rewrite this number as follows:

[tex] 43,000 = 35,000 + 8,000
[/tex]

Then, we know the percentages for profit.

Therefore, for this month, Pete's commissions are:

[tex] (0.07) * (35000) + (0.09) * (8000) = 3170
[/tex]

Answer:

The total commissions that Pete won in $ are:

[tex] 3170 [/tex]
