Question

Luis earns a base salary of $150.00 every week with an additional 14% commission on everything he sells. If Luis sold $6,050.00 worth of items last week, what was his total pay?

Answer 1

Answer: $997

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Base salary of Luis per week= $150

Additional percentage of commission on everything he sells= 14%

If Luis sold $6,050.00 worth of items last week

Then his commission=14% of $ 6050

$\frac{14}{100}\times6050\\\\=\ 847$

Now, his total pay for last week= base salary+additional pay

=$150+$847

=$997

Hence his total pay for last week=$997

Answer 2

Luis earns a solid $150 and that doesn't change, now you need to calculate 14% of $6,050. 
x=150+(0.14x6050)
    150+(847)
    997
Luis was paid $997.
