Question

. Madison makes a base salary of $52,600 plus 2% commission on her sales. If she had $842,000 in sales last year, what was her total pay?

Answer 1

Base salary = $52,600

Sales = $842,000

Commision sales = 2%

First, we have to calculate the commission sale amount by multiplying the sales ( 842,000) by the commission percentage (2%) in decimal form ( divided by 100):

842,000 x (2/100) = 842,000 x 0.02 = $16,840

Finally add the result to the base salary:

$52,600 + $16,840 = $69,440

Her total pay was $69,440
