Question

Jennie works for a cell phone company. She earns 250

per week plus commissions she makes on sales.
One week, she had sales of $1000, and her pay was $275.
How much would her pay be if she had sales of $2,000?​

Answer 1

Jennie pay would be
`\$` 300 on sales
`\$2000`

Explanation:

Given

Jennie earnings per week =
`\$ 250`

On sales of
`\$1000` pay =
`\$275`

Commission on
`\$ 1000`sale = pay on
`\$ 1000` - earning per week=
`\$ 275- \$250=\$25`

Commission on
`\$ 2000`sale = 2
`*` Commission on
`\$ 1000`sale =
`2 * \$ 25 = \$50`

Now Total payment on sale of
`\$2000` = Jennie earnings per week + Commission on
`\$ 2000`sale =
`\$ 250 + \$ 50= \$300`

Jennie pay would be
`\$ 300`on sales
`\$2000`
