her first $2,000 of sales and 8.5 percent on all sales over $2,000. Gray’s sales for the past week totaled $3,925. What is her commission for the week?

2) Some jobs pay a commission plus a bonus at the end of the year. The bonus may be a percent of the salesperson’s total commission for the year.
a. Melbell is a sales representative. She receives 7 percent commission on all sales. At the end of the year, she receives a bonus of 5 percent of her commission. What is her total pay for a year in which she had sales totaling $412,454?
b. What would Carr’s total pay be if her sales were $316,250?

3) What is gross pay and how do you calculate it? Also, what about for commission and minimum?

EXPLANATIONS WOULD BE HELPFUL, please. Thank you!

OfficeQuip is a small office supply firm that is currently bidding on furnature and office equipment contracts with four different potential customers who are of comparable size. For each contract, OfficeQuip would gain a profit of $50,000 if that contract were accepted, so the compant could make as little as $0 or as much as $200,000. The four potential customers are making independent decisions, and in each case the probability that OfficeQuip will receive the contract is 0.40. When all the decisions have been made, what is the probability that OfficeQuip will receive none of the contracts? Exactly one of the contracts? Exactly two of the contracts? Exactly three of the contracts? All four contracts? Overall, what is OfficeQuip’s expected profit in this business procurement venture?

costs in money and labor required to maintain a small office. It was found that every hour an office is open requires $12 to pay the clerical staff, and 12 minutes of labor devoted to paperwork (tallying timesheets, filling out grievance forms, etc.). Also, every $100 in the budget requires 30 minutes of paperwork (expenditure authorization forms, miscellaneous red tape), and 30% of the budget is wasted on office supplies, coffee, donuts, and embezzlement.

The Efficiency Office also reported on the money and time demands of certain types of offices. A local legal aid office needs 30 hours/week in surplus labor (after subtracting the overhead described above) and $1500/week in surplus budget (ditto). A local Environmental Protection office needs a surplus of 20 hours and $700 per week. A local Y2k office needs a surplus of 80 hours and $3000 per week.

Use Leontief theory and an inverse matrix to determine the money and time that must be scheduled for the above 3 kinds of office to meet their needs.
