Question

Michael receives a monthly salary of $2500 plus a commission of 2% of total orders written. If his orders for the month were $34000, what is his total pay?

Answer 1

Answer:

$3,180

Explanation:

Monthly salary would be the base salary = $2500

Since he would earn 2% of all orders, calculate the dollar value of the commission when total orders amount to $34000;

Commission = 2% *34000 = $680

His total pay would be calculated by adding the base salary to the commission amount;

Total pay = base salary + commission

Total pay = $2500 + $680

Total pay = $3,180
