Answer 1

Option C.

Explanation:

It is given that James earns $1000 weekly base pay as a sales-person.

We know that, we have 4 weeks in a month. So, monthly salary of james is

Monthly income
`=\$1000* 4=\$4,000`

It is said that he sold $20,000 worth of merchandise last month and he gets a 10% commission on everything he sells.

Commission
`=\$20,000* (10)/(100)=\$2,000`

Total amount = Monthly income + Commission

`=\$4,000+\$2,000`

`=\$6,000`

Therefore, the correct option is C.
