Question

Diana sells baking equipment and is paid a commission of 6.75% for all regular priced items and 4.3% on all sale items. What is her total commission for the month if she sold $42,500 worth of regular priced products and $22,000 worth of sale items

Answer 1

Regular price quantity is $42,500, Diana earns 6.75% of this, so she earns:

42,500 x 0.0675 = 2868.75

On sale price quantity is $22,000, Diana earns 4.3% of this, so she earns:

22,000 x 0.043 = 946

The total is 2868.75 + 946 = 3814.75

Answer is $3,814.75
