Option D
The total earnings of Yvette is $ 47, 400
Solution:
Given that, Yvette earns a $45,000 salary plus a 12% commission on any sales over $10,000
Last year Yvette made $30,000 in sales
Subtract 10,000 from her sales to get the amount she earns commission on:
30,000 - 10,000 = 20,000
Since Yvette gets 12% commission
So amount earned as commission would be 12% of $20,000
[tex]\text{Commission}=20000\times \frac{12}{100}\\\\\text{Commission}=20000\times 0.12\\\\\text{Commission}=2400\left\\\\[/tex]
Yvette also gets a salary of $45,000, so Yvette's total earnings would be $45,000 plus $2,400
[tex]Total\ Earnings = 45000 + 2400 = 47400[/tex]
Thus total earnings of Yvette is $ 47, 400
