You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Commission is paid on
top of the salary, but it is paid for
selling a certain cash total of items,
such as cars.
---------------
Does the problem say that a certain
value of sales were made?
Suppose $1,000 in sales were made.
+.3%2A1000+=+300+
$300 would be the commission.
Then the total pay is +280+%2B+300+=+580+
$580
