11.   Edgar Anderson earns $200 a week plus a 15% commission on all sales over $1,000. If Mr. Anderson's sales for one week are $2,500, what is his gross pay for that week?

Respuesta :

well, for that one week, he made his salary, 200 bucks, plus 15% of his sales, because his sales were over $1000, to be exact, they were $2500, so he made 15% of 2500 extra on top of his salary.

so, what's 15% of 2500? well, is just (15/100) * 2500.

so, add that to his $200 salary, and that's his gross pay.
