Question

Ajay works in a department store selling clothing. He makes a guaranteed salary of
$450 per week, but is paid a commision on top of his base salary equal to 15% of his
total sales for the week. How much would Ajay make in a week in which he made
$375 in sales? How much would Ajay make in a week if he made x dollars in sales?

Answer 1

Commission = 375 x 15%
= $56.25

Total earnings = 450 + 56.25
= $506.25

Total earnings when selling $x = 450 + (15% x X)
