Question

Charles Beaudry sells computer hardware for a computer firm. He is paid 4 percent commission on the first $8,000 of sales, 6 percent on the next $10,000 of sales, and 8 percent on sales over $18,000. What is his commission of $21,278 in sales?

Answer 1

As i don't want this to be to long

We break it down so

$8000 x 4% = $320

$10000 x 6% = $600

$8000 + $10000 = $18000

$24550-$18000 = $6550 x 8% = $524

Final answer

$320+$600+$524 = $1,444
