Question 760671: sally earns graduated commission on her sales each month. She earns 6% commission on the first 45,000 in sales and 8% on anything over that. If Sally had 51,000 in sales this month, how much commission did she earn? Answer by 2897696(96) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1) First find how many times 45000 can fit in 51000, since it fits in only 1 time the left over (51000-45000)is 6000
2)Next Plug the numbers into the commission formula which is (%of commission*total sales= commission). 45000*0.06=2700 the leftover commission is
6000*0.08=480
3)add both commissions together to find the total commission. 480+2700=3180
Answer: Sally earned 3180.
