She earns commission on the amount of sales over $10,000
Subtract 10,000 from her sales to get the amount she earns commission on:
30,000 - 10,000 = 20,000.
multiply that by the percent:
20,000 x 0.12 = 2400
She earned $2,400 in commission.
Now add that to her salary to find her total pay:
45,000 + 2,400 = $47,400
Answer:
$47,400.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Yvette earns 12% commission on any sales over $10,000. Last year Yvette made $30,000 in sales.
The amount on which Yvette will get commission would be [tex]\$30,000-\$10,000=\$20,000[/tex].
Since Yvette gets 12% commission, so amount earned as commission would be 12% of $20,000.
[tex]\text{Commission}=\$20,000\times \frac{12}{100}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Commission}=\$20,000\times 0.12[/tex]
[tex]\text{Commission}=\$2,400[/tex]
Yvette also gets a salary of $45,000, so Yvette's total earnings would be $45,000 plus $2,400.
[tex]\text{Yvette's total earnings}=\$45,000+\$2,400[/tex]
[tex]\text{Yvette's total earnings}=\$47,400[/tex]
Therefore, Yvette's earned $47,400 in salary plus commission.
