Question

Clarence earns a 10% commission

on sales plus a $200 weekly salary.
In one week, his sales totaled $2100.
What was his total pay that week?

Answer 1

$410

Explanation:

Step 1

We calculate the amount of commission of sales

Commission rate = 10%

Total sales = $2100

Hence,

= 10% × $2100

= 10/100 × $2100

= $210

Step 2

The total pay of Clarence for that week

= Commission + Weekly salary

Commission = $210

Weekly salary = $200

Hence,

= $210 + $200

= $410
