Answer:

$3,120

Step-by-step explanation:

A sales quota is the minimum volume a salesperson is expected to move to earn commissions.

Mark's quota is $2750

In the week, mark sold $29,000, but $1,800 was returned. The net sales were: $29,000 - $ 1,800 = $27,200

Mark is a 10% commission. The commissions will be 10% of net sales

=10/100 x $27,200

=0.1 x $27,200

=$2,720

gross pay will be weekly earnings plus commissions

=$400 +$2,720

=$3,120
