Question

Three salesmen work for the same company, selling the same product. And, although they are all paid on a weekly basis, each salesman earns his paycheck differently. Salesman A works strictly on commission. He earns $65 per sale, with a maximum weekly commission of $1,300. Salesman B earns a weekly base salary of $300, plus a commission of $40 per sale. There are no limits on the amount of commission he can earn. Salesman C does not earn any commission. His weekly salary is $900. On any given week, if Salesman B earns $1,020, how many sales did he have for the week? a0 sales

Answer 1

If we take the paycheck amount of $1020 and subtract the weekly salary, we get $720 in sale commissions. To get the number of sales, divide the $720 by the $40 per sale commission and you are left with 18 sales.
