Question

Sarah Jones earns $570 per week selling life insurance for Farmer’s Insurance plus 6% of sales over $5,750. Sarah’s sales this month (four weeks) are $15,000. How much does Sarah earn this month? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Assuming the $5,750 limit is per month:

 

15,000 - 5,750 = 9,250

 

9,250 * .06 = 555

 

4 * 570 = 2,280

 

2,280 + 555 = 2,835
