A salesperson is paid a fixed rate of R1300 per week plus 2.5% of Sales. If he sells R35000 of goods during one week , what will his earnings be for that week?
1300 + (0.025 * 35,000) = ________
To calculate the salesperson's earnings, you need to add the fixed rate to the percentage of sales.
1. Calculate the percentage of sales:
- Multiply the sales amount (R35,000) by 2.5% (or 0.025).
- R35,000 x 0.025 = R875
2. Add the fixed rate to the percentage of sales:
- R1,300 + R875 = R2,175
Therefore, the salesperson's earnings for that week would be R2,175.
