Question

Abby sells beauty products. She has a monthly salary of $1000. She also earns 1%

commission on the first $8000 of her sales for the month and 4% commission on
sales over $8000. What is Abby's gross income for the month if her sales were $12
500

Answer 1

Answer: $1260

Explanation:

Based on the information given, Abby's gross income for the month if her sales were $12500 will be:

= $1000 + (1% × $8000) + [4% × ($12500 - $8000)]

= $1000 + (0.01 × $8000) + (0.04 × $4500)

= $1000 + $80 + $180

= $1260

Her gross income is $1260
