Question

Monique Montez earns a 3.5 percent commission on all sales. She also receives a $500 bonus if her commission exceeds $4,000. Her total sales were $82,500. What was her total pay?

Answer 1

Commission: 82,500*3.5%=2887.5 ($)
Because 2887.5<4,000 so she doesn’t receive $500 bonus
Total: 82,500+82,500*3.5%=85,387.5 ($)
