gary's total sales were $192,500.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he gets 5% on the first $50,000.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he gets 5.5% on the next $25,000.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "he gets 6% on the rest.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the rest is $192,500 - $75,000 = $117,500\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5% of $50,000 = .05 * $50,000 = $2,500.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5.5% of $25,000 = .055 * $25,000 = $1,375.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Gary's total commission is equal to $2,500 + $1,375 + $7,050 = $10,925.\r
