Suppose your boss owes you $800, plus a commission of 2.5% on a sale of $1,000. How much does your boss owe you?
825
825
To calculate the total amount your boss owes you, you will need to add the base amount of $800 to the commission you earned from the sale.
To find the commission, multiply the sale amount of $1,000 by the commission rate of 2.5%:
Commission = $1,000 * (2.5/100) = $25
Now, add the commission to the base amount:
Total amount owed = Base amount + Commission = $800 + $25 = $825
Therefore, your boss owes you $825.
So, the correct answer is $825.
