Question

Ingrid Bergman receives a base salary of $835 every month and a commission on her sales. Her commission rate

was 4.5% but in July she received an increase in her commission rate to 5.75%. Calculate her total pay for the
month of August if her August sales were $24,116.

Answer 1

• $2221.67

Explanation:

Given

• Base pay = $835
• Commission = 5,75% of sales (it is assumed commission rate same as in July)
• Sales in August = $24116

Total pay in August:

• Total pay= Base pay + commission

• 835 + 24116*0.0575 = $2221.67
