Answer:

The salesperson's commission for this month is $3,803

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages

Let's call x to the sales volume, not including commission.

The salesperson is paid an 8.25% commission on sales, thus the total invoice is x + 8.25%x = x + 0.0825x = 1.0825x

We are given this total invoice, thus:

1.0825x = $49,900

Dividing by 1.0825:

x = $46,097

The salesperson's commission is

0.0825*$46,097=$3,803

The salesperson's commission for this month is $3,803
