Explanation:

Gross income= $813.61

Giving the following information:

Sales= $32,874

Fixed salary= $452

Commission= 1.1% paid on sales in excess of $25,000.

To calculate the gross income, we need to use the following formula:

Gross income= 452 + y*x

y= percentage comission

x= sales

For $32,874 sales:

Gross income= 452 + 0.011*32,874

Gross income= $813.61
