A salesman has a base salary of $ 1800 per month and gets a 4% commission on every sale. How much would he make in a year if he sold $ 400,000 in merchandise? Round to the nearest whole number.
Solution
The base salary of the salesman is $ 1800 per month
he gets a commission of 4% on every sale
Total Sale in a year= $ 400000
His commission = 400000 * 4/100 // his commission is 4%
= $ 16000
Total Base salary = 1800* 12 // 12 months in a year
= $ 21600
Total Earning = Total Base salary + commission
= 21600 + 16000
= $37600
