You run a software company and hired a new salesperson. you offer $40,000 base salary. additionally, if the salesperson sells $500,000 worth of software she meets a gate that entitles her to a bonus of 2% commission on additional sales. your new salesperson sold $750,000 worth of software the first year.

$45,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Base salary = $40,000

If the salesperson sells $500,000 worth of software she meets a gate that entitles her to a bonus of 2% commission on additional sales.

Commission = 2% of additional sales (More than $500,000)

It is given that new salesperson sold $750,000 worth of software the first year.

Let as assume we need to find the total salary of new salesperson.

Additional sales = $750,000 - $500,000 = $250,000

Commission on additional sales

Total salary = Base salary + Commission

Total salary = $40,000 + $5,000

Total salary = $45,000

Therefore, the total salary of new salesperson is $45000.
