Question 1020325: Ella was paid an 11 percent commission on the pair of shoes that she sold. The department store had paid $25 wholesale for the shoes and had marked up the price by 40 percent to the selling price. How much did Ella earn for the sale?

If the wholesale price was $25 and was marked up 40%, well, 40% of $25 = $10, so the selling price was $35.
Ella got 11% commission on the $35, so
(.11)($35) = $3.85
