Question

anonymous · Answer

(2000)*.04  is the initial commision for the first 2000
calculate the amount of money over the initial condition ( 3925-2000 ) 
multiply by the % earned on the commission .08

ok so if I multiply the first 2000 X 4%, then 1925 X 8%,added together I get #234.00 is that correct?
