Answer 1

Answer:

$4060.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Jill gets a base pay of $1500 per month. She also earns a commission of 8% of her total sales. We are asked to find Jill's earnings for a month in which she has sales of $32,000.

Jill's earnings for the month would be base salary pus 8% of $32,000.

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\ 1500+\ 32,000\times \frac{8}{100}$

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\ 1500+\ 320\times8$

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\ 1500+\ 2560$

$\text{Jill's total earnings for the month}=\ 4060$

Therefore, the Jill's earnings for the given month would be $4060.
