What is Gomez's total pay for the month if he does $10,125 on repairs?

Step-by-step explanation:

He earns a base salary of $2,000 per month. This amount is constant.

he receives 2 percent commissions

for the first $5,000 in repairs. Since his repairs for the month was $10125 which is more than $5000, it means that he earned

2/100 * 5000 = $100

He also earns 3 percent over $5,000. This means that he earns 3% on any amount over $5000 and this amount is 10125 - 5000 = $5125. Therefore, amount earned is

3/100 * 5125 = $153.75

if he exceeds $10,000 in repairs, he is given a $500 bonus. His repairs exceeded $10000. So he gets a $500 bonus. Gomez's total pay for the month will be

$2000 + $100 + $153.75 + $500 = $2753.75
