Answer 1

Given:

Betty's monthly salary = $1770

Commision on sales = 14%

Betty sales for last month = $99,200

1. The amount of commission is 14% of $99,200.

Therefore, we have:

`(14)/(100)*99200=0.14*99200=\text{ \$13888}`

The amount of commission is $13,888

2. The gross pay.

Gross pay is the amount Betty receives before taxes and deductions.

Gross pay = Salary + Commission

Thus, the gross pay is:

$13888 + $1770 = $15,658

ANSWER:

1. Commission = $13,888

2. Gross pay = $15,658
