Laura is paid $400 per week plus a commission of 15% on all sales over $3000. If the total sales for the week are $34000 dollars what is Laura's pay for the week? Please need help!

Ans:

Basic pay per week = 400

Commission = 15% of sales over 3000

15% = 0.15

Therefore commission = 0.15 * (Sales - 3000)

Total pay = Basic pay + commission

= 400 + 0.15 * (34000 - 3000)

= 400 + 0.15 * 31000

= 400 + 4650 = $5050
