Sonny works as a furniture salesman and earns a base salary of 350 dollars per week plus 6% commission on sales. What was Sonny's weekly gross salary if his total sales were 3,750 dollars?

Please try to explain how you got the answer. Thanks.

Answer 1

Commission: 225

Weekly gross salary: 575.00

Explanation:

6/100 = c/3750

100c/100 = 22500/100

22500/100 = 225

c = 225 commission

WEEKLY GROSS SALARY

350 + 225 = 575

575.00

Answer 2

Here is how we do this all that we need to do here is take 3750*.06 which equals 225 now add this ontop of his base weekly salary and he made a total of $575 that week Enjoy!=)
