Question

Joan Deere sells tractor parts. she gets a base salary of $1255 per month

plus a commission of 8.5% of any sales greater than $10000. She sold $15000 in parts last month. (She only gets commission on the money greater than $10000), How much was her monthly check for?​

Answer 1

$1361.68

Explanation:

15000 > 10000

so she gets the 8.5%

so she gets 108.5% of her salary

x/1255 = 108.5/100

1255(108.5) = 136,167.5

136,167.5/100 = 1361.68
