Question

Mr Corona sells magazines part time. He is paid a monthly commission. He receives 21% of his first 1,500 in sales and 14% of the balance of his sales. Last month he sold 2,233 worth of magazine subscription. How much commission did he ear last month?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Part 1. he receives 21% of the first $1500, which he exceeded, so he will receive 21% x $1500 = 0.21 x $1500 = $315

Part 2. he will receive 14$ of the amount over $1500, which is $2233 - $1500 = $733

Of that amount, he will be paid $733 x 14% = $733 x 0.14 = $102.62

Part 3. his total will be $315 + 102.62 = $417.62
