oscar sells internet access subscriptions by telephone. he receives 12% of the first $1,000 and 15% on the balance over $1,000. last month he sold $7,500 worth of internet access subscriptions. what was his commission for last month?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate commission on first $1000

$1000 \times 12\% = 1000 \times 0.12 = 120$

Step2: Find balance over $1000

$7500 - 1000 = 6500$

$6500 \times 15\% = 6500 \times 0.15 = 975$

$120 + 975 = 1095$

Answer:

$1095$
