Question

A paperback sells for $12. The author is paid royalties of 10% on the first 10,000 copies sold, and 15% on any additional copies. When the 6000th book is sold, how much will the author earn on that sale

Answer 1

The 6000th book sold is still within the

parameters of the 10% earnings on the

first 10,000 books.

 

10% of $12 = .1(12) = $1.20
