Answer:

$3,180

Step-by-step explanation:

Monthly salary would be the base salary = $2500

Since he would earn 2% of all orders, calculate the dollar value of the commission when total orders amount to $34000;

Commission = 2% *34000 = $680

His total pay would be calculated by adding the base salary to the commission amount;

Total pay = base salary + commission

Total pay = $2500 + $680

Total pay = $3,180
