Tristen is a salesman whose base pay plus commissions amounted to $59,238 last year. if his base pay was? $31,050 and he made $97,200 in sales last year, what was his rate of commission?
a) 61%
b) 52%
c) 29%
d) 32%

Before we can solve this problem, we need to create a formula that calculates the total amount of Tristen's payment. The formula would be the following,

[tex]T = b + (r*s)[/tex]

Where:

T is the total pay
b is the base pay
r is the rate of commission
s is the total sales

Now that we have the formula we can plug in the values from the question and then solve for the rate of commission (r)

[tex]59,238 = 31,050 + (r*97,200)[/tex] .... subtract 31,050 on both sides

[tex] 28,188= r*97,200[/tex] .... divide both sides by 97,200

[tex]0.29 = r[/tex]

Now we can see that the commission rate is 0.29 or 29%
