Answer 1

Jake's paycheck will be $1,650 for the week, which is calculated by adding his 5% commission of $1,000 from $20,000 in sales to his base salary of $650.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to how to calculate Jake's paycheck based on his sales and commission rate. Jake earns a 5% commission plus a base salary of $650. If he sells $20,000 in sales, his commission from those sales would be 5% of $20,000, which is $1,000. Adding his base salary to his commission, Jake's paycheck for the week would be $650 + $1,000 which equals $1,650.
