asale earn a basic salary of 9000 per month in addition he is paid a commissin of 5%for sales above 15000 in acertain month he sold good worth 12000at a discount of two and ahalf calculate his otal earning
To calculate Asale's total earnings, we need to consider his basic salary and the commission he receives.
First, let's calculate the commission earned on sales above 15000. Since Asale sold goods worth 12000, which is less than 15000, we will not consider any commission for that amount.
Next, let's calculate the commission on sales above 15000. Asale sold goods worth 12000, so we subtract this amount from the threshold (15000) to get the sales above 15000, which is 0 in this case.
Now, we can calculate the commission earned by multiplying the sales above 15000 by the commission rate of 5%. In this case, it is:
0 * 0.05 = 0
Since there are no sales above 15000, the commission earned is 0.
Finally, to calculate Asale's total earnings, we add his basic salary and the commission earned:
Total Earnings = Basic Salary + Commission
Total Earnings = 9000 + 0
Therefore, Asale's total earnings would be 9000.
