Question

Reann sells textbooks. She receives 7% on her first $1,000 in sales and 15% on the

balance of her sales. If her sales in one month were $15,500,what would she earn in
commission?

Answer 1

$2245

Explanation:

7% ff $1000 = $70

0.07 × 1000

Subtract 1000 from 15,500

15% of $14,500 = $2175

0.15 × 14,500

2175 + 70 = $2245
