Question

A pharmaceutical sales representative gets paid $50,000 annually plus
3.5% commission on total sales. This year he sold $420,000 in
pharmaceuticals. What are his annual total earnings?

Answer 1

100% = $420,000

3.5% = 3.5/100 × 420,000

= $ 14,700

Commission he earned = $14,700

Annual total earnings= $50,000 + $14,700

= $ 64,700
