Question

Columbia Mirror and glass pays Barbara Davis a $1460 monthly salary plus a 9% commission on merchandise she sells each month. Assume Barbara's sales were $66,800 for last month. Calculate the following amount: 1. Amount of commission 2.Gross pay

Answer 1

We have that Barbara's sales were $66800, and she gets a commission of 9% on merchandise she sells. Then the amount of comission is:

$C=66800\cdot0.09=6012$

For the gross pay, we just have to add 1460 to the total comissions:

$GP=6012+1460=7472$

therefore, the amount of the comission is $6012 and the gross pay is $7472
