Question 34 • 26.27 TCEC FINANCIAL LIT

Tamara earns her living as a salary plus commission employee. Her annual salary is $48,000, and she earns 4% commission on all sales she makes. If Tamara wants to make a total of $6,000 this month, how much in sales does she need to have?

Answer
A
$30,000
B
$50,000
C
$100,000
D
$150,000

Explanation

Tamara’s monthly salary is $48,000 ÷ 12 = $4,000. To earn $6,000 total this month, she needs $6,000 − $4,000 = $2,000 in commission. At 4%, the sales needed are $2,000 ÷ 0.04 = $50,000, so the correct choice is $50,000.
