Question

You are starting your first job as a salesperson at a clothing store. You receive a base salary of $10.00 per hour with time-and-a half for hours in excess of 40 hours per week. You also receive a 3% commission on your total sales.

Calculate your paycheck if you work 40 hours both weeks, plus you sell $3,000 worth of merchandise.

a
800
b
830
c
890
d
970

Answer 1

The answer in this case would be 890 because 3% of 3,000 is 90 & 40 • 2 = 80. 80 • 10 = 800 800 + 90 = 890

Answer 2

hi

40 hours both week at 10 an hour make : 40*10 *2 = 800

now you have 3% of sales as commission on 3 000 dollars

that make : 0.03 * 3 000 = 90

So total paycheck is : 800 + 90 = 890

so answer is C .
