Let's assume that Kaimaya's total sales in the two-week period are S.

Her base salary for two weeks is $1000.

In addition to her base salary, she earns a 10% commission on all sales. This means that her commission for the two-week period is 0.1S.

To earn a total of $2400 in two weeks, Kaimaya's total pay must be $2400, which can be expressed as:

Total pay = Base salary + Commission
$2400 = $1000 + 0.1S

Now we can solve for S:

0.1S = $2400 - $1000
0.1S = $1400
S = $14,000

Therefore, Kaimaya's sales need to total $14,000 in the two-week period in order to earn $2400, including her base salary and commission
