Answer:
The salesperson earns $750 on a total sale of $24,000.
Solution:
It is given that a salesperson earns a commission of 1/32 of the total sales.
This means that how many ever total sales the salesperson has, he will only earn a fraction of it which is given as [tex]\frac{1}{32}[/tex]
For $24,000 total sales, how much will he earn is the question.
To find out how much he earns on a total sale of $24,000 we need to do the following.
[tex]\frac{1}{32}[/tex] th of 24000
[tex]24000 \times \frac{1}{32} = 750[/tex]
Therefore the salesperson earns $750 on a total sale of $24,000.
