Dan works on commission and earns 4% on all of his sales. In month 1, he sold $25,000; month 2 was $17,000; and month 3 was $34,000. 18% of his total earnings are taken out for taxes. Calculate the total net (after taxes) pay Dan earned over the 3 months.
-------
Earnings:: 1.04(25000+17000+34000)
Net Earnings: 0.82[1.04(76000)) = $64,813
