Question

Doris is paid a commission of 1.45% on all monthly sales above $80,000. Her sales for November were $382,000. What commission did she earn for the month?

Answer 1

$4,379

Explanation:

Doris only earns commission on the amount above $80,000 so you have to figure out how much of the total sales is subject to commission.

Subtract $382000-$80000= $302000

Multiply $302000 x 1.45% = $4,379
