Question 973138: compute the total commission on sales of $75,000 if the commission rates are 2% on the first $40,000, 3% on the next $25,000, and 4% on anything above $65,000.
Answer by Theo(13342)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! commission is 2% on first 40,000 = .02 * 40,000 = 800.
commission is 3% on next 25,000 = .03 * 25,000 = 750.
commission is 4% on anything above 65,000.
75,000 - 65,000 = 10,000 * .04 = 400.
total commission is 800 + 750 + 400 = 1950.
total sales was 40,000 + 25,000 + 10,000 = 75,000.
