Question

Nola Potter earns a salary of $1,200 a month and a commission of 7.5% on all sales over $4,000. This month her sales were $21,400. Find her total earnings for the month.

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 2,805  

Explanation:

Nora has a salary of $1200

The commission is paid on all sales above $4000 at 7.5%

Current month sales are $21,400.

Commissions to be paid will be 75% of $21,400

=7.5/100 x $21,400

=0.075 x 21,400

=$1,605

Nora's total earnings will be salary plus commissions

=$1,200 +$1,605

=$ 2,805
