Question

Darrel receives a weekly salary of $389. In addition, $15 is paid for every item sold in excess of 100 items. How much will Darrel earn for the week if he sold 132 items?

Answer 1

• Weekly fixed salary = $389

,

• Weekly variable salary = $15 for each item OVER 100

Now,

In a week, Darrell sold 132 items.

That is 132 - 100 = 32 items OVER 100.

Thus, his variable salary will be:

32 * 15 = 480 dollars

His fixed salary is 389 dollars

So, total salary will be:

480 + 389 = 869 dollars

Answer:

$869
