Question

A salesperson gets a commission of 4% on all sales up to $8000 and a commission of 6% on all sales over $8000. What is the commission earned on sales of $12 500?

Answer 1

The commission earned on all sales over

$12 500 is $750

Explanation:

$12 500 is over $8000 so the commission is 6%

Turn the percentage into a decimal

`6 / 100 = 0.06`

Multiply that decimal with the earned sales price

`0.06 * 12500`

= $750
