Answer:

$516.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Base salary is what Pete will be paid whether he makes a sale or not.

Sales commission is the percentage of the value of the sale that Pete makes which is added to his base salary.

Base salary = $400

Total sales last week = $1456

Commission = 8% of total sales

Commission of last week = 8% of $1456

= 0.08*1456 = $116.48

Gross salary = base salary + commission

= 400 + 116.48

= $516.48

$\bf \stackrel{150~days}{\textit{Amount for Exponential Decay using Half-Life}} \\\\ A=P\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{h}}\qquad \begin{cases} A=\textit{accumulated amount}\\ P=\textit{initial amount}\dotfill &1\\ t=\textit{elapsed time}\dotfill &150\\ h=\textit{half-life}\dotfill &74 \end{cases} \\\\\\ A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{150}{74}}\implies A=1\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{75}{37}}\implies \boxed{A\approx 0.24536}$
