Eva 46

Eva works as a sales clerk. She is paid a salary of 3000 a week plus a 2% commission on sales over 4000. Find her gross pay for a week in which her sales are 9500.

Correct answer:

x =  3110

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} a=3000 \\ s=2\%=\frac{2}{100}=\frac{1}{50}=0.02 \\ b=s\cdot (9500-4000)=0.02\cdot (9500-4000)=110 \\ x=a+b=3000+110=3110 \end{gathered}$$
