### Instruction: For each of her sales, a saleswoman receives a commission equal to 20 percent of the first $500 of the total amount of the sale, plus 35 percent of the total amount in excess of $500. If the total amount of one of her sales was $800, the saleswoman’s commission was approximately what percent of the total amount of the sale?
Answer Choices: (A) 22% (B) 24% (C) 25% (D) 26% (E) 28%.### Response: Let's think about the multi-choice question step by step.
