Abdull sells computers for a local computer outlet. He gets paid $400 per month plus a commission of 4.2% on all the computer hardware he sells. Last year he sold $640,000 worth of computer hardware.
A. What was his sales commission on the $640,000 worth of the hardware he sold?
B. What was his annual salary (that is, his monthly pay and comission combined)?

Please help. I’ll mark you as brainliest if correct !!!!

Step 1; Abdull receives a commission of 4.2% for all the computer hardware he sells. Last year he sold $640,000 worth of hardware. First, we must calculate how much 4.2% of $640,000 is.

4.2% of $640,000 = [tex]\frac{4.2}{100}[/tex] * $640,000 = 0.042 * $640,000 = $26,880.

So Abdull got a sales commission of $26,880 last year. This answers the first question.

Step 2; Now we have to calculate his annual salary which is both his monthly pay and his commission from selling computer hardware combined. We found that he got $26,880 from the commission. His monthly salary was $400. So to find his annual salary we multiply his monthly salary by 12.

Annual salary = monthly salary * 12 months= $400 * 12 months= $4,800 a year.

So in total, his annual salary is the sum of both those.

Annual salary = $26,880 + $4,800 = $31,680.
