Answer: His gross pay is $461.

Step-by-step explanation: George’s gross pay consists of two parts, his salary and his commission. His salary is $350, regardless of how much he sells. His commission is 6% of the $1,850 in sales that he made.

First, calculate the amount of commission = .06 x $1,850 = $111

$350 + $111 = $461
