Question

Linda sells vacuums part time. She is paid a monthly commission only. She receives 15% of her first $1,500 in sales and 20% of the remainder. Last month she sold $2,233 worth of vacuums. How much commission did she earn last month?

Answer 1

$2,233 - $1,500 = $733

$733 x 20%= $146.60

$1,500 x 15% = $225

$225 + $146.60 = $371.60
