b. monthly salary of $1,500 plus 3% commission on all sales.
c. graduated commission of 4% on the first $50,000 in sales and 10% on anything over that.
d. graduated commission of 5% on the first $40,000 in sales and 9% on anything over that.

Explanation:

Step1: Calcular ganancias para a

La comisión es del 6% de $60,000.
$60000\times0.06 = 3600$

Step2: Calcular ganancias para b

La comisión es del 3% de $60,000 más un salario fijo de $1500.
$1500+60000\times0.03=1500 + 1800=3300$

Step3: Calcular ganancias para c

4% de $50000 más 10% del excedente sobre $50000.
El excedente es $60000 - 50000=10000$.
$50000\times0.04+10000\times0.1 = 2000+1000 = 3000$

Step4: Calcular ganancias para d

5% de $40000 más 9% del excedente sobre $40000.
El excedente es $60000 - 40000 = 20000$.
$40000\times0.05+20000\times0.09=2000 + 1800=3800$

Answer:

d. Graduated commission of 5% on the first $40,000 in sales and 9% on anything over that.
