Answer:
Edison will be paid $15,112 for the first three months.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that Edison receives an annual fixed pay of $45,448. Therefore, his fixed pay for each month will be [tex]\frac{45448}{12}=\$3787.33[/tex]
Therefore, his fixed pay for the 3 months will be [tex]3787.33*3=\$11362[/tex].
Now let us compute the commission that Edison received. For that we will compute the 15% of the total sales for those 3 months. Total sales for the 3 months is $25000. Therefore, his commission would be [tex]0.15*25000=\$3750[/tex]
Therefore, total pay that Edison received during first 3 months would be:
[tex]11362+3750=\$15,112[/tex]
