Question

Jim Tree receives a salary of $120.00 per week plus commission of 1% on sales up to $3,000 and 2% on the remaining amount over $3,000. Jim averages $9,650.00 dollars in sales per week. His expected total earnings for one week would be $

Answer 1

Its 283.00 this guy is wrong, do the math.

His total earnings would be the sum of the basic salary and the commissions he gets from the sales. For a sale amounting to $9650, $3,000 of it would have 1% commission and $6650 would have 2%. Calculating, Total earning = $120 + 0.01 x $3000 + 0.02 x $6650 = $283

Thus, Jim Tree will have a pay of $283.
