Question

Jenitha Forrest makes a 6% commission on the first $2,000 of sales she makes, and 9% on any sales over $2,000. Find her total graduated commission on $7,740 in sales.

Answer 1

6% times $2000 equals $120. Then 9% of $5740 is $516.60. You then add $120 to $516.60 to receive $636.60 total commission.
