Question

Steve works at lowes and gets a 10% commission for each appliance he sells. If he sells $5,680 worth of appliances this week, how much will he earn with a base of $1,500

Answer 1

10% commission means that Steve earns 10% of his sales. If he sells $5,680 worth of appliances this week, then he earns 10% of it, which is computed as follows:

`5,680\cdot(10)/(100)=568\text{ \$}`

Given that he has a base of $1,500, then he will earn $1,500 + $568 = $2068
