Question

Barry works for his brother Larry at Harry's Computer Outlet. He receives a weekly salary of $325 plus

4.07% commission based on his sales. Last year, he sold $1,015,092 worth of computer equipment. How
much money did Barry earn total last year? (Note: Barry took a 2 week unpaid vacation last summer.).

Answer 1

$57,564.24

Explanation:

52 weeks in a year. There are 50 paid weeks, since 2 weeks were unpaid vacation.

(50 weeks)*($325/week) = $16,250

4.07% commission on $1,015,092 is (0.0407)*($1,015,092) = $41,314.24

Total: ($16,250) + ($41,314.24) = $57,564.24

Barry took home $57,564.24 from Harry's Computer Outlet.
