Question 717584: john is a salesman for ABC Company he receive a salary of 700 dollars a week plus a 6 % commission all all sales over 2000 dollars. Last week he sold 11600 dollars if merchandise. How much did he receive for the week. Answer by jndarrell(58) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! First we need to find the amount that he will receive the 6% commission on.
11600-2000= 9600
Take your percent and turn it into a decimal by multiplying it by 100 (6%=0.06)
9600*.06=576
The amount of commission he will receive is $576. YOU'RE NOT DONE!!
The question asked for how much did he receive for the week...his paycheck is $700+commission($576)
His paycheck in total will be $1276.
