Question

Jose makes $10000 a month plus some money by commission rates. He gets 6% of everything he sells. If Jose sold $59000 worth of items this month, what is his salary for the month?

Answer 1

Answer:

$13,540

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that Jose will earn at least $10,000 per month. Now, we need to find 6% of 59,000. To do this, multiply .06 and 59,000. When we do this, we get 3,540. This means Jose earns $3,540 of off items sold, but he also eared $10,000 more. This means we need to add 10,000 and 3,540. When we do this, we get 13,540. This means Jose earned $13,540 this month. I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

$13540

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 100 from $59000 in which you get 1% of that worth.  If he gets 6% of that commission rate then he would get $3540 since 1% is $590 and you multiply by 6 to get that number.  Since he makes $10000 a month as stated, you would then add the amount $3540 for his salary to get $13540.
