Question 3 of 14

A salesman has a base salary of $4,000 per month and gets a 6% commission on every sale. How
much would he make in a year if he sold $600,000 in merchandise?​

Answer 1

`\$84,000`

Explanation:

Remember that

`6\%=6/100=0.06`

we know that

The amount the salesman would earn in a year must be equal to the base salary multiplied by 12 (number of months in a year) plus 6% of the amount sold in merchandise in a year

so

`4,000(12)+0.06(600,000)=\$84,000`
