Answer: your total pay for the month is $3200

Explanation:

You earn a base salary of $2200 a month plus a sales commission of 5%.

Your total sales for one month were $20,000. This means that your commission for that month would be

5/100× 20000 = 0.05 × 20000 = 1000

Total pay for the month would be

Base salary + commission for the month. Therefore, your total pay for the month would be

2200 + 1000 = $3200
