Jill earns $ 750 per week plus 3% of sales in excess of $ 6,500. If Jill sells $ 25,000 in the first week, her earnings are:

Answer 1

I would say $1,305
$25,000 - 6,500 = $18,500 excess ×.03 = $555 plus $750 = $1,305

Answer 2

$ 25,000 excess $ 6,500

3% = 3 / 100 = 0.03

Her earnings:

750 + 3% of 25,000 =

750 + 0.03 • 25,000 = 750 + 750 = 1500

Her earnings = $1,500
