Question

Luis earns a base salary of $150.00 every week with an additional 14, percent commission on everything he sells. If Luis sold 6050.00 worth of items last week, what was his total pay?

Answer 1

150 + 0.14(6050) = 150 + 847 = 997 <== total pay

** the 14% commission pay is calculated by taking 14% of the sales....so by turning the percent to a decimal (0.14) and multiplying it by the total sales, u arrive at how much the commission pay was
