Question

Charles sells computer hardware for a computer manufacturer. He is paid 4% commission on the first $8,000 of sales, 6% on the next $10,000, and 8.5% on sales over $18,000. What is his commission on $24,550 in sales?

Answer 1

$920

Explanation:

4% × 8000 = $320

24550 - 8000 = $16550

6% × 10000 = $600

16550 - 10000 = $6550

600 + 320 = $920
