An employee, who sells advertising time for independent
television stations, is paid a salary of $2,500 per month. For short
commercials (less than 30 seconds), the employee receives no commissions. For
long commercials (30 seconds or longer), the employee receives a 1/2%
commission. Compute the employee’s total pay for a month in which the employee
sold $388,500 worth of time for short commercials, and $214,000 worth of time
for long commercials.
