Question

You work in a retail store selling limited-brand products. These clothes/accessories are not the top brands in the industry, but they are still popular and people are constantly in your store. As a sales rep, you currently make 15% flat commission over all of Your sales (so yes you have to go talk to the people). You average about $3,980 in sales weekly. Calculate your Gross Weekly Income.

Answer 1

SOLUTION

From the question, you currently make 15% flat commission on all sales.

Since you make an average of $3,980 in sales weekly, then Gross income becomes

$\begin{gathered} 15\%\text{ of } 3,980 \\ =\frac{15}{100}\times 3,980 \\ =\frac{59,700}{100} \\ =597\text{ dollars } \end{gathered}$

Hence the answer is $597 weekly
