Step-by-step explanation:
The student's question involves calculating the total earnings of Kevin Klog based on his base salary and commission. To find Kevin's total earnings, we need to calculate the commission he earned on his sales and then add his base salary. Kevin's commission is 0.8% of his total sales, which were $64,500 last month.
To calculate the commission:
- First, we convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100: 0.8% = 0.008.
- Next, we multiply the decimal by Kevin's total sales: 0.008 * $64,500 = $516.
Now, we add the commission to Kevin's base salary:
- Base Salary: $1250
- Commission: $516
- Total Earnings: $1250 + $516 = $1766
Therefore, Kevin Klog earned a total of $1766 last month.
