Answer:

$900

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the fixed salary be x and the commission be y, then as per given, the earnings:

  • 10000y + x = 1350
  • 15000y + x = 1575

Subtract the first equation from the second:

  • 15000y - 10000y = 1575 -1350
  • 5000y = 225

then

  • 10000y =2*5000y = 2*225 = 450

Using the first equation:

  • x = 1350 - 450 = 900

So the fixed salary is $900
