Bill is a sales representative for a farm equipment dealership. He gets paid $3,000 a month plus one half of a percent of tractor sales over $150,000 a month. Last month, Bill sold eight tractors for a total of $702,000. How much did the dealership pay Bill for the month?
Bill's base salary is $3,000 per month, and he earns this amount regardless of how much he sells. On the first $150,000 of sales, Bill earns no commission, but commission starts accumulating after this amount. All this can be translated into this equation:
Bill's monthly pay = $3,000 + ($702,000 - $150,000) x 0.5 / 100 = $5,760.
