Question

Megan works for Zipper Mart where she earns a monthly salary 3.5% commission on her sales. What is her monthly gross pay if she is paid $2,200 per month and has sales of $5,500?

Answer 1

`$2,200+192.50=$2,392.50`

Explanation:

I am going to assume that Megan is paid a monthly salary plus a 3.5% commission on her sales.

Her sales were $5,500. This means that her commission is:

`$5,500xx.035=$192.50`

We add that figure to her monthly salary of $2,200 to arrive at:

`$2,200+192.50=$2,392.50`
