Question

Karen is a saleswoman. She is paid a base salary of $1700 a month plus a 2% commission on the sales she makes. What was her sales amount last month if she earned a total of $2099.68 ?

Answer 1

amount earned = $2099.68
base salary = $1700
difference = $399.68
let the sales amount be x
2% of x = 399.68
2/100* x =399.68
x = 399.68*100/2 = 19984
