Question

A salesman is paid a salary of $2500 per month and a commission of 10% on all sales above $7000. Calculate his gross salary if his sales for a particular month is $16500

Answer 1

$4150

Explanation:

Given data

Salary= $2500

Commission= 10%

Sales= $16500

Let us find the amount of the commission made

=10/100*16500

=0.1*16500

=$1650

Hence the total amount made for the month is

=commission + salary

=1650+2500

=$4150
