Question 255636
gary's total sales were $192,500.


he gets 5% on the first $50,000.


he gets 5.5% on the next $25,000.


he gets 6% on the rest.


the rest is $192,500 - $75,000 = $117,500


5% of $50,000 = .05 * $50,000 = $2,500.


5.5% of $25,000 = .055 * $25,000 = $1,375.


6% of $117,500 = .06 * $117,500 = $7,050.


Gary's total commission is equal to $2,500 + $1,375 + $7,050 = $10,925.


$50,000 + $25,000 + $117,500 = $192,500.
