Drake earns a salary of $500 per week plus an additional 6% commission on his sales. If Drake's weekly salary increases by $75 and his commission increases to 8%, how much will he earn if his weekly sales are $300?

$ 599

Weekly salary now = $575
Commission rate = 8%

now for $300
he's gonna get = 575+ (300*8%)
= 599

You are looking at 575+.08(300)
(300/1)*(8/100)=24
575+24=599
I don't know what to say, really. Three minutes to the biggest battle of our professional lives. You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game - life or football - the margin for error is so small. I mean, one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. I'll tell you this, in any fight it's the guy whose willing to die whose gonna win that inch. That's football guys, that's all it is. Now, what are you gonna do?
