Question
John works as a sales agent in a car company which gives a 12% commission in his total sales. John can close a sale of a car worth ₱1,000,000. He has a salary of ₱18,000 a month.How much is his total pay?
Solution
To calculate John's total pay, we need to add his monthly salary to the commission he gets from the car sale.
Step 1: Calculate the commission from the car sale. The car is worth ₱1,000,000 and John gets a 12% commission on this. So, the commission is calculated as follows:
₱1,000,000 * 12/100 = ₱120,000
Step 2: Add the commission to his monthly salary. John's monthly salary is ₱18,000. So, his total pay is calculated as follows:
₱120,000 (commission) + ₱18,000 (salary) = ₱138,000
So, John's total pay is ₱138,000.
