Question

Devon earns a base salary of $600.00 per month, plus a 4% commission on his sales. Last month he brought in $15,000.00 in sales. Write an expression to represent his total compensation and calculate how much his total compensation was.

A) .04(600 + s) ; $624
B) 600 + .4s; $6,600
C) .4(600 + s); $6,240
D) 600 + .04s; $1200​

Answer 1

Lets simplify

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 600+0.4(15000)`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 600+60000/100`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 600+600`

`\\ \sf\longmapsto 1200\$`

Option D is correct

Answer 2

Explanation:

the total compensation = 600 + (0.04 × sales)

= 600 + (0.04×15,000)

= 600 + 600

= 1200

so, the correct answer is D.

600 + .04s, $1200
