document.write( "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!
\n" );
document.write( "Ans:
\n" );
document.write( "Basic pay per week = 400
\n" );
document.write( "Commission = 15% of sales over 3000
\n" );
document.write( "15% = 0.15
\n" );
document.write( "Therefore commission = 0.15 * (Sales - 3000)
\n" );
document.write( "Total pay = Basic pay + commission
\n" );
document.write( "= 400 + 0.15 * (34000 - 3000)
\n" );
document.write( "= 400 + 0.15 * 31000
\n" );
document.write( "= 400 + 4650 = $5050\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
