Answer 2

Answer:

Your boss owes $825.00

Step-by-step explanation:

Your boss owes you = $800

and he also owes a commission of 2.5% on a sale of $1,000.

Now we have to calculate 2.5% of the sale of 1,000

2.5% of 1000

= $\frac{2.5}{100}$ × 1000

= 0.025 × 1000

= $25.00

Your boss owes money total = $800 + $25.00 = $825.00

Your boss owes you $825.00
