Clarissa works in sales for a software company. Her pay each month varies, because each month she receives a base pay of $2,400.00 plus 8% commission on her sales. During the month of November, Clarissa had $18,000.00 in sales. For the month of November, what % of Clarissa's pay was from her commission.

Answer 1

Greetings from Brasil...

Just let's make a rule of 3....

$ %

18,000 ------- 100

X ------- 8

100X = 144000

X = 144000/100

X = 1440 (just commission)

So, in November her pay:

2400 (base pay) + 1440 (comission) = 3,840
