A salesclerk is paid a minimum weekly salary of $210 plus a commission of 10% of the value of sales she makes in excess of $3,000 for the week. If the salesclerk wishes to earn at least $370 for a week, What is the minimum value of sales she must make for that week?
A) $1,600
B) $3,700
C) $4,600
D) $6,700
E) $6,910
The OA is C.
I think that I can solve this PS question of the following way,
If minimum Salary - $ 210. To get a weekly salary of $370 - salesclerk needs to get $160 in commission.
Commission is 10% of sales done in excess of $3000. To get $160 in commission, the salesclerk should generate $1600 in excess of $3000. So the total sales done should be $4600., right?
Please, can any expert explain this PS question for me?. Thanks.
