Answer 2

Answer:

Straight Commission is calculated to be the person's wage based solely on sales.

Example:

1. Patrick works at the Brick, and is paid based on his weekly sales. Last week he sold a couch for $800, and a chair for $550, and two stoves at $1200 each. If Patrick earns 12.5% commission on all items sold, how much did he make last week?

 

a) Add all the sales together:

$800 + $550 + $1200 + $1200 = $3750

b) Multiply total sales by the commission (as a decimal)

$3750(0.125) = $468.75

Patrick made $468.75 last week.
