Answer:
$1,956.80
Step-by-step explanation:
For amounts over $6000, the commission can be computed as ...
0.14s -300 . . . . . . for sales (s) ≥ 6000
So, for $16,120 in sales, the commission is ...
0.14×$16,120 -300 = $2,256.80 -300 = $1,956.80
__
The commission schedule suggests that for larger amounts, you divide the problem into two parts: calculate the commission on $6000, and separately calculate the commission on the amount over $6000.
0.14(s -6000) + 0.09(6000)
= 0.14s - 0.14·6000 +0.09·6000
= 0.14s -300 . . . . the formula used above for s ≥ 6000
