Question

Mayra's monthly salary is $4,540 plus she earns an 8% commission on her sales each month. Mayra's sales for January were $30,000. What were her total earnings for january?

Answer 1

Work out 8% of 30000

10% of 30000 is 3000

1% of 30000 is 300
2% of 30000 is 300x2=600

Therefore 10%-2%= 3000-600=2400

It therefore follows that Mayra earned 4540 + 2400 = 6940 for January
