Question

javier earns a base salary of $480 per month plus an 8% commission on his sales. last month he bought in $22,000 in sales. how much was his total compensation

Answer 1

Answer:

His total compensation was

$2,240

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for his total compensation we need to first calculate his monthly 8% commission based on his sales

Since he bought sales worth $22,000,

8% of $22,000 will be his commission for the month

I.e commission = 8/100*22000=$1,760

Total compensation = base salary +8% commission

= 480+1760

= $2,240
