For each of her sales, a sales woman recieves a commission equal to 20% of the first $500 of the total amount of the sale, plus 30% of the sale in excess of $500. If the total amount of one of her sales was $800, the sales woman's commission was approximately what percentage of total amount of sale?
unfortunately I do not have answer choices of this problem also... My answer was 25%.. but 25% was not in the answer choices.
Can anybody come with a different answer?
