Answer:
Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Calculate the amount of commission the employee needs to earn to reach the total of $3,559.
Total earnings = Base salary + Commission
Commission = Total earnings - Base salary
Commission = $3,559 - $1,093
Commission = $2,466
2. Determine the sales amount that corresponds to the calculated commission.
Commission is calculated as 7% of the sales amount over $4,890.
Let's denote the sales amount as \(x\).
Commission = 7% of (\(x\) - $4,890)
\(2,466 = 0.07 \times (x - 4,890)\)
Solve for \(x\):
\(\frac{2,466}{0.07} = x - 4,890\)
\(35,228.57 = x - 4,890\)
\(x = 40,118.57\)
Therefore, the employee must sell at least $40,118.57 in one month to earn a total of $3,559, considering the base salary and the 7% commission on sales over $4,890.
