Problema Solution

Hamali Shah sells appliances and receives a graduated commission of 5 percent of the first $1000, 7 percent of the next $2500, and 10 percent over $3500. Last week she had $3900 in sales. What is her total commission for the week?

Answer provided by our tutors

5 % of 1000 = 50

7 % of 2500 = 175

10 % of (3900-3500)= 4

Comission = 50 +175 +4 = $229
