Question

A sales representative is paid a base salary of $350 a month. she is also paid a commission of 20% on all sales. If she sells $14,000 worth of merchandise in one month, what is her paycheck for the month?

Answer 1

First, let's calculate her commission by taking 20% of $14,000 using a tule of three:

This way,

`x=(14000\cdot20)/(100)\Rightarrow x=2800`

Now, let's add up her commission and her base salary:

`2800+350=3150`

Therefore, we can conclude that her paycheck for the month is $3,150
