To find the commission portion of Clarissa's pay for the month of November, we first need to calculate her commission on her sales.
Commission earned = 8% of $18,000.00
Commission earned = 0.08 * $18,000.00
Commission earned = $1,440.00
Now, we can calculate Clarissa's total pay for the month of November.
Total pay = Base pay + Commission earned
Total pay = $2,400.00 + $1,440.00
Total pay = $3,840.00
Next, we need to calculate the percentage of Clarissa's pay that came from her commission.
Commission percentage = (Commission earned / Total pay) * 100
Commission percentage = ($1,440.00 / $3,840.00) * 100
Commission percentage ≈ 37.5%
Therefore, for the month of November, 37.5% of Clarissa's pay was from her commission.
