Answer 1

Her gross pay for the week

= $300 +$225=$525

Explanation:

Trisha standford earns $300 a week plus a 15% commission only on sales she makes after her first $1,000. In this week,she made sales of $2500. But she can only earn 15% commission after sales of $1000.she made sales of $2500, so she can make 15% commission on $1500= ($2500-$1000)

=15/100 ×1500=0.15×1500=$225

So if she earns $300 plus a 15% commission only on sales she makes after her first $1,000,

Then her gross pay for the week

= $300 +$225=$525
