To calculate Yvette's total salary including commission, we need to know the total sales she made that are over the [tex]$1 threshold. Since we don't have Yvette’s total sales amount, we can't calculate the exact salary including commission.
However, we can explain how to perform the calculation once the total sales amount is available:
1. Determine the amount of sales over the threshold: Subtract $[/tex]1 from Yvette's total sales to find the amount that is eligible for commission.
For example, if Yvette made sales totaling [tex]$X, then the amount eligible for commission is $[/tex]X - [tex]$1.
2. Calculate the commission: Multiply the amount eligible for commission by the commission rate to find the commission earned.
Using the commission rate of 12%, or 0.12, the earned commission would be (0.12) * ($[/tex]X - [tex]$1).
3. Calculate the total salary: Add the commission to Yvette's base salary of $[/tex]45,000 to get the total salary.
The total salary would be [tex]$45,000 + (0.12) * ($[/tex]X - $1).
Without the specific sales amount that Yvette has made, we cannot determine which of the provided answer choices would be correct. To solve for an exact total salary, the specific sales amount needs to be provided. Once you have the total sales figure, you can use the steps outlined above to compute Yvette's total salary including commission.
