Respuesta :

for APEX your answer would be 35%

Answer:

B. 35%

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Chet is a salesman whose base pay plus commissions amounted to $48,560 last year. His base pay was $22,380 and he made $74,800 in sales last year.

First of all, we will find amount of commission by subtracting base pay from total salary.

[tex]\text{Amount of commission}=\$48,560-\$22,380[/tex]

[tex]\text{Amount of commission}=\$26,180[/tex]

Since Chet sold $74,800 worth items, so we need to find $26,180 is what percent of $74,800.

[tex]\text{Rate of commission}=\frac{\$26,180}{\$74,800}\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Rate of commission}=0.35\times 100[/tex]

[tex]\text{Rate of commission}=35\%[/tex]

Therefore, option B is the correct choice.
