Answer 1

The monthly salary = $1695

Commission Interest = 9.5%

The sales in this month = $6450

It is more than 2000, so 9% of 6450 will add up to the monthly salary.

Total salary = 1695 + 9% of 6450

$\begin{gathered} \text{Total salary=1695+9\% of 6450} \\ \text{Total salary=1695 + }\frac{9\times6450}{100} \\ \text{Total salary = \ }2275.5 \end{gathered}$

None of these choices are correct.
