Solution

Step 1: Identify the amount of sales that are eligible for commission. The salesman gets a commission on the amount he sold over Sh 70000. So, subtract Sh 70000 from the total sales of Sh 560000.

560000 - 70000 = 490000

Step 2: Calculate the commission. The salesman gets a 6% commission on the eligible sales. So, multiply the eligible sales by 6%.

490000 * 0.06 = 29400

So, the salesman earned a commission of Sh 29400 in that month.
