Question

One week Michael worked 40 hours and sold 2,870 worth of shoes if his employer paid him 12.50 per hour and 6% commission of all sales over 225 how much money did Michael make in commission

Answer 1

Money which Michael make in commission = 158.7

Explanation:

Given that,

number of hours Michael worked in a week = 40 hours

total sale of the week = 2870

commission which Micheal will get on sale = 6% above 225sale

To find,

total money Michael make in commission in the week

Commission = (2870 - 225)*6%

Commission = (2870 - 225)*6/100

Commission = 2645 *6/100

Commission = 158.7

Total money Micheal make in a week = (40*12.50) + (158.7)

= 658.7
