2) a salesperson earns commission on the sales that she makes each month.

the salesperson earns a 5% commission on the first $5,000 she has in sales.
the salesperson earns a 7.5% commission on the amount on her sales that are greater than $5,000.

part a:
this month the salesperson had $8,000 in sales. what amount of commission, in dollars, did she earn?

part b:
the salesperson earned $1,375 in commission, last month. how much money, in dollars, did she have in sales last month?

(if you guys submit any answers i would prefer that you show the steps of the problem if you want, you for your )

Part A

Commission total = Commission 1+ Commission 2

Where

Commision 1 = 5% of first 45000

Commission 2 = 7.5% of the amount left after $5000 is subtracted

thus

Commision 1 = $5000x.05

                    = $250

Commission 2= $3000 x.075

                      = $225

Commission total = $250+$225

                            = $475

The total commission she earned is $475ion

Part B.

Total sales = Sales with 5% commission+Sales with 7.5% commission

Sales with 5%commission= $5000

Commision At 7.5% = Total commision -Commission with 5%

                         =    $1375-$250

            Sales x.075=  $1125

            Sales with 7.5% commision = $15000

Total sales = $5000+$15000

Total sales = $20000

Total sales for commission of $1375 is $20000
