in excess of / multiple rates
is there a specific formula for a question like this?
Kevin earns a 15% commission on his first $50,000 in sales each year, and a 20% commission on sales in excess of $50,000. If Kevin's total commission last year was $12,500, what was the total amount of his sales?

how do you normally keep track of how much time you spend on each question?
is there a digital clock on the computer with a second countdown?
or..do you normally bring your own digital watch?
