Answer: $4,500

Step-by-step explanation: First, the monthly salary is $2,000 so this is part of the total already. The 25% commission is on the profit they earn and the profit they earned was $10,000. To find 25% of $10,000, you do 10,000 times 0.25 which is $2,500.

Total Earned: $2,000 (Monthly Salary) + $2,500 (Commission Amount) = $4,500
