Respuesta :

Answer:

Sale-person's total salary for the year is  $ 82,050

Step-by-step explanation:

Base salary of salesperson = $37,000

commission percentage of salesperson = 17% of sales

sales made in a year = $265,000

commission for salesperson in $ = 17% of sales

commission for salesperson in $ = 17 / 100 *  $265,000 = $45,050

Thus, total commission for the given year salesperson is   $45,050

Total salary for year = Base salary + total commission for the given year

Total salary for year = $37,000  +  $45,050 = $ 82,050 (Answer)
