Question

Tina is the top seller of the store. She earns a salary plus 2%. Tina's salary is $30,000 a year. This month her sales were $48,500. How much was Tina paid this month?

Answer 1

I'm assuming she gets 2% commission on sales and that she gets paid monthly from her yearly salary.

If the above is true, her monthly pay is calculated as follows:

Commission: 48500 * 0.02 = $970
Monthly salary: 30000 ÷ 12 = $2500

So monthly pay is $2500 + $970 = $3470
