Rhonda sold five appliances this week. She sold a stove for $800.00, a refrigerator for $1,250.00, a microwave for $120.00, a dishwasher for $625.00, and a blender for $65.00. Rhonda earns 15% commission only on the amount of money from weekly sales that EXCEEDS $2000.00, not on the initial $2000.00. Before taxes, how much money should she receive in her commission check?

Respuesta :

First, we must find overall how much money all of the appliances Rhonda sold add up to.
800 + 1250 + 120 + 625 + 65= 2860

Second, we must subtract 2000 from our sum.
2860-2000 = 860

Lastly, we have to find what 15% of 860 is.
(.15)(860)= 129

In conclusion, before taxes, Rhonda should get $129 in her commission check.
