Mike is a salesperson in a retail carpet store. he is paid $500 base salary per month plus 5% commission on sales over $10,000. his sales this month were $23,750. his total deductions were $152.75. what is mike’s net pay?

  $1034.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Mike's net pay is ...

  base pay + commission - deductions

  = $500 + 5%(23750 -10000) -152.75

  = 347.25 + 0.05×13750

  = $1034.75

$1034.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are given that the base salary of Mike is $500. He is also rewarded with some commission depending on sales. Hence we can bifurcate his gross pay as

Gross Pay = Base Pay + Commission

Commission = 5% of Sales over $10000

                     = 5% of (23750-10000)

                     = 5% of 13750

                     = 0.05*13750

                     = 687.50

Hence Gross pay = 500 + 687.50

                              = 1187.50

Also given that he has some deductions also i.e. $152.75 .

Therefor Net pay = Gross pay - Deductions

                             = 1187.50-152.75

                             = 1034.75

Hence Net Pay = $1034.75

your answer is b ^w^ hope i
