Question

Isaac works in a department store selling clothing. He makes a guaranteed salary of $400 per week, but is paid a commission on top of his base salary equal to 10% of his total sales for the week. How much would Isaac make in a week in which he made $2400 in sales?

a) $640
b) $840
c) $1040
d) $1440

Answer 1

Isaac would make $640 in a week in which he made $2400 in sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Isaac would make in a week with $2400 in sales, we need to calculate his commission and add it to his guaranteed salary. Isaac's commission is 10% of his total sales, which is $2400 x 0.10 = $240. Therefore, his total income for the week would be $400 (guaranteed salary) + $240 (commission) = $640.
