Question 249357: Asa a salesclerk at a clothing store, Mike receives a monthly salary of $800 plus a 5% commission on the amount that he sells.

Mike's monthly salary: M

Mike's monthly sales: S

Mike's monthly commission: C=S*.05

Mike's total monthly salary: T=M+C

We are given M=800, S=2000 so:

T=800+2000*.05

T=800+100

T=900 final answer

Mike's total monthly salary in December was 900 dollars. :)
