Question

Audrey sells closet organization systems. She is paid a commission of 5.14% of her first $1500.00 in sales during the week and 10% on all sales over $1500.00. What is her commission in a week during which she sells $7500.00 worth of closet organization systems?

Answer 1

$827.1

Step-by-step explanation:

We proceed to calculate the 5.14% of the $1500 in sales during the week

Hence she is paid 1500*(5.14/100)

= 1500*0.0514

= $77.1

And also she is paid 10% of sales over $1500 and she made sales of $7500

her commission is

= (10/100)*7500

=0.1*7500

= $750

Hence in all for the week her commission will be (if she sells $7500)

= 77.1+750

= $827.1
