Question

You are paid a commission plus $5.40 per hour with time and a half over time for all hours over 8 per day. Your commission consists of 4 percent of the the first $3,000 in sales and 5 percent on all sales over $3,000. Find your gross pay for a week in which you worked 9 hours on Monday, 8 hours on Tuesday, 11 hours on Wednesday, 9 hours on Thursday, 10 hours on Friday, and 8 hours on Satruday. Your total sales for the week were $4,115.

Answer 1

Answer:

Gross pay for the week = $603.85

Step-by-step explanation:

Monday pay = (5.4 x 8) + (2.7 x 1) = $45.9

Tuesday pay = 5.4 x 8 = $43.2

Wednesday pay = (5.4 x 8) + (2.7 x 3) = $51.3

Thursday pay = (5.4 x 8) + (2.7 x 1) = $45.9

Friday pay = (5.4 x 8) + (2.7 x 2) = $48.6

Saturday pay = 5.4 x 8 = $43.2

Commission on first $3000 = 0.04 x 3000 = $120

Commission on sales above $3000 = 0.05 x 4115 = $205.75

Gross pay for the week = 45.9+43.2+51.3+45.9+48.6+43.2+120+205.75 = $603.85
