25*1.2=30
30*.8=24 PRICE OF THE SHIRT AFTER THE DISCOUNT.
-------------------------------------------------
I=(PRT)=2,000*.03*5=2,000*.15=300 IS THE INTEREST AFTER 5 YEARS.
THUS THE ACCOUNT IS WORTH 2,000+300=$2,300
------------------------------------------------
25*.15=$3.75 IS HIS COMMISSION ON EACH BOOK.
