A salesperson earns a salary of $16,000 per year. She also makes a commission of 21% on her sales. If her sales for the year total $11,000. How much money was she paid for the year?

She was paid a total amount of $18,310

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine salary per year

Salary per year=$16,000

Step 2: Calculate commission amount

The commission amount can be expressed as;

Commission=rate*total sales

where;

Commission rate=21%

total sales=$11,000

replacing;

Commission = (21/100) * 11,000=$2,310

Step 3: Determine total amount paid

Total amount paid=Commission+salary per year

where;

Commission=$2,310

Salary per year=$16,000

replacing;

Total amount paid = (2,310+16,000) = 18,310

She was paid a total amount of $18,310
