    B) $ 450

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Commission Alec earned for first $1000 = 12% of 1000

    =0.12 * 1000

    = $ 120

    Balance sales amount = 3200 - 1000 = $ 2200

    Commission Alec earned for the balance $2200 = 15 % of 2200

    =0.15 * 2200

    = $ 330

    Commission earned by Alec last month = 120 + 330 = $450
