Question

Michael sells appliances and receives a salary of $125 per week plus a 5% commission on all sales over $750. How much does he earn in a week in which his sales amount to $2130

Answer 1

Answer: $231.5

Explanation:
Michael earns 5% of sales as bonus when sales cross $750. In given situation, sales are more than that so he'll get 5% of the sales, so equation becomes:
Earning= Salary + 5% of sales
Earning= 125+ 5% of 2130
Earning= 125+ 2130x5/100
Earning= 125+ 106.5
Earning = $231.5
