Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Calculate the commission for the first tier (0to0 to 15,000).
15,000×0.04=15,000 \times 0.04 = 600
The representative earns a 4% commission on the first $15,000 of sales.
2
Calculate the commission for the second tier (the next $25,000).
25,000×0.06=25,000 \times 0.06 = 1,500
The 6% rate applies to the next 25,000ofsales(coveringsalesfrom25,000 of sales (covering sales from 15,000 to $40,000).
3
Calculate the commission for the third tier (sales exceeding $40,000).
54,200−54,200 - 40,000 = 14,200.14,200. 14,200 \times 0.085 = $1,207
The 8.5% rate applies to any sales exceeding the $40,000 threshold.
4
Sum the total commission.
600+600 + 1,500 + 1,207=1,207 = 3,307
Adding the amounts from all three tiers gives the total commission earned.
5
Calculate the total gross income by adding the base salary, total commission, and the performance bonus.
2,400+2,400 + 3,307 + 750=750 = 6,457
Total sales (54,200)exceededthe54,200) exceeded the 50,000 threshold, so the $750 bonus is awarded. Gross income includes base pay, total commission, and the bonus.
