C. $974.00

D. 1039.00

Answer 1

The answer is C. His gross pay is $974.00.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Weekly Salary = 844 dollars.

Commision Rate = 4% = 0.04

Last week Sales = 3250 dollars.

Last week commission on sales = 0.04 x 3250 = 130 dollars.

Gross pay = Weekly Salary + Commission amount.

Gross pay = 844 + 130 = 974 dollars.

Hence, option C is correct i.e. 974.00 dollars.
