Answer 1

John earns $100 per week plus 10% of any sales over $5000.find his income for one week if his sales tottaled $6000.

Over one weeek,

Sales = $6,000

Sales over $5,000 = $1,000

10% of excess sales = 10% of $1,000 = $100 (his commision)

Basic salary for the week = $100

Total salary = Basic salary + commision = $100 + $100

Answer: weekly salary = $200
