To calculate the commission earned by Janine on sales of $48,000, we need to consider the two different commission rates based on the sales amount.
First, let's calculate the commission on sales up to $10,000. The commission rate on this range is 3%. So, the commission earned on this portion would be:
Commission on sales up to $10,000 = 3% of $10,000
= (3/100) * $10,000
= $300
Next, we need to calculate the commission on sales above $10,000. The commission rate on this range is 5%. For sales of $48,000, the amount of sales over $10,000 is $48,000 - $10,000 = $38,000. So, the commission earned on this portion would be:
Commission on sales above $10,000 = 5% of $38,000
= (5/100) * $38,000
= $1,900
Finally, to find the total commission earned by Janine, we add the commission earned from sales up to $10,000 and the commission earned from sales above $10,000:
Total commission = Commission on sales up to $10,000 + Commission on sales above $10,000
= $300 + $1,900
= $2,200
Therefore, Janine will earn a commission of $2,200 on sales of $48,000.
