Quote: Elena gets a base pay of 1,500 per month. She also earns a commission of 8% of the total ales dollars that she makes. What are Elena's earnings for a month in which she has sales of 32,000?
Elena base pay is 1,500
Her commission is 8% of the total sale
The sale is 32,000
Sale x Commission
32,000 x 0.08 = 2,560
2,560 is her 8% commission of the sale
Commission + Base Pay
2,560 + 1,500 = 4,060
4,060 is her earnings
I'm sure this is right. but I could be wrong. unless you think its right.
