Jose is paid a commission of 12% on sales over $10,500. If Jose’s total sales amounted to $25,600, what is the amount of the commission received?

Respuesta :

Answer: Jose's commission is $1812

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate Jose's commission, follow these steps:

Determine the sales amount over the threshold of $10,500.

Sales over threshold = Total sales - Threshold amount

Sales over threshold = $25,600 - $10,500

Calculate the commission on the sales over the threshold using the commission rate of 12%.

Commission = (Commission rate) * (Sales over threshold)

Commission = 0.12 * (Sales over threshold)

Let's calculate:

Sales over threshold = $25,600 - $10,500 = $15,100

Commission = 0.12 * $15,100 = $1,812

So, Jose's commission for sales of $25,600 is $1,812.
