5% $10,000.01 --->
He does not earndouble commission.That is, if his sales are $12,000, he earns 10% on the first $10,000 and 5% on the remaining $2,000.
His largest paycheck of the year was $1,320. What were his sales for that pay period?	Pick:
A) 13,000  B) 14,800  C) 16,400  D) 15,800  E) 19,600
His pay check was $1320.   Out of this, $170 was his fixed salary so the total commission he earned was $1320 - $170 = $1150   He earns 10% on the sales of first $10,000 which gives a commission of $1000.   He earns 5% on every subsequent dollar. Since he earns another $150, he must have had sales of another 150*(100/5)  1320 -  170=
