Clarissa works in sales for a software company. Her pay each month varies since each month she receives base pay of $2,400.00 plus 8% commission on her sales. During the month of November, Clarissa had $18,000.00 in sales. For the month of November,(?) % of Clarissa's pay was from her commission.
what do u need help with???
in what do u need help @chosenmatt???
18,000-2,400= 15,600 15,600(.08)= $1,248 was from commission, but then you have to find what percent of the total was from commission
how?
gtg bye!!
first let's decompose that to something we can understand she receives a base pay of 2400 with 8% of the sales commission that would be 2400+0.08x where x represents the sales she makes
okay go on
for november we know that she made 18000$ sales so we going to find first her commission percentage by multiplying that by 0.08
0.08*18000
1440
first she get paid all the time 2400 so we must subtract 2400 from 18000 first then the result see what is 8% of i
there chosenmatt i gave u a medal k

Clarissa had $18,000.00 in sales for November. Since she receives an 8% commission on her sales, her total pay for November can be determined as follows. Convert 8% to 0.08. Clarissa's total pay for November is base pay plus commission. To determine the percentage of Clarissa's pay that was from her commission, divide her commission by her total pay. Therefore, Clarissa's pay from her commission made up 37.5% of her pay for the month of November.
