Alice Miller works for a paint manufacturer. She is paid 3% commission on her first $20,000 if monthly sales and 8% commission on all sales over $20,000. In March her sales were $54,500; in April, her sales totaled $47,300. What were the total commissions she earned for the 2 months?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$6,144

Explanation:

sales commissions during March:

$20,000 x 3% = $600

$34,500 x 8% = $2,760

total = $3,360

sales commissions during April:

$20,000 x 3% = $600

$27,300 x 8% = $2,184

total = $2,784

if we add both months, then the total sales commissions earned by Alice = $6,144
