Question

Kim works as a sale person for a car dealership. Her base salary is $85 per day. She gets paid commission of 7.2% of anything she sells greater than $2000. Her total sale is $8230 this week. What is her gross pay for this week if she only worked 4 days?

Answer 1

$939.04

Explanation:

To calculate her gross pay, we need to take into consideration, her total pay for the 4 days and her commission based on the total amount of goods she sold.

Firstly, her daily base salary is $85, since she worked for 4 days, her total salary for the four days will be $85 * 4 = $340.

Now, she is to earn 7.2% of $8,320 as commission. The amount of her commission is thus 7.2/100 * 8,320 = 599.04

Her gross pay is thus $599.04 + $340 = $939.04
