Note that this is a graduated rate. The rate for the first $5,000 is at 8%, the next $5,000 is at 10%, and the rest is at 12%. If the sales amount is 25,000, the commission is 5,000 * 8% + 5,000 * 10% + 15,000 * 12% = 2,700. Your goal is to earn $30,000 a year. Write a program that finds the minimum sales you have to generate in order to make $30,000.

Answer 1

def getSales(money):
    if (money <= 5000):
        return money * 0.08
    elif (money <= 10000):
        return 5000 * 0.08 + (money-5000) * 0.1
    elif (money > 10000):
        return 5000 * 0.08 + 5000 * 0.1 + (money - 10000) * 0.12
    else:
        return 'Number must be positive'

print('required minimum sales: ', getSales(30000))
