Question

Edgar Anderson earns $300 a week plus a 15% commission only on sales he makes after his first $1000 in sales. If Mr. Anderson’s sales for one week are $2,500, what is his gross pay for that week? A. $450 B. $675 C. $525 D. $775

Answer 1

C. $525

Explanation:

According to given data

Weekly pay = 300

Commission rate = 15%

Total sale of the week = 2500

Sales above $1000 = 2500-1000= $1500

Gross pay for the week = 300+(1500*15%) = 300+225 = 525

Answer 2

Gross pay
300+(0.15×1,500)
=525
