  6. Sam is paid a basic wage of £450 a month and 3.5% commission on sales he makes. Calculate his total salary in a month when he sold £45 000 worth of goods. Commission Example 1. Solution. 3.5% of 45 000 Commission = = 45 000  100 x 3.5 = £1575 Total wage = basic + commission = 450 + 1575 = £ 2025

  8. Overtime & Bonuses. Example 1. If John’s normal wage was £8.60 an hour , calculate his wage at : (a) Double time (b) Time and a half. Solution (a) Double time = 2 x normal wage = 2 x 8.60 = £17.20 (b) Time and a half = normal wage plus half as much again. = 8.60 + 4.30 = £12.90

  9. Billy is paid £20.40 an hour for a 35 hour week and time and a half for any overtime he does. Calculate his wage in a week when he worked 43 hours . Example 2. Solution. Normal wage = 20.40 x 35 = £714 Overtime worked = 43 – 35 = 8 hours Overtime pay = 20.40 + 10.20 = £30.60 Overtime wage = 30.60 x 8 = £244.80 Total wages = 714 + 244.80 = £958.80

  10. I buy a bike on Hire Purchase (H.P) for a deposit of £20 and 12 monthly payments of £14.50.Calculate the total H.P price. Hire Purchase. Example 1. Solution. H.P cost = Deposit + Monthly Payments. Monthly Payments = 12 x 14.50 = £174 H.P price = 20 + 174 = £194

  11. Example 2. A television costs £350 cash price. It can be bought on H.P for a deposit of 10% of the cash price and 2 years of monthly payments of £17.50. Calculate the difference between the cash price and the H.P price. Solution Deposit = 10% of 350 = £35 Monthly payments = 24 x 17.50 = £420 Total H.P price = 35 + 420 = £455 Difference in price = H.P – C.P = 455 - 350 = £105

  12. A car with a cash price of £ 8 500 can be bought on H.P for a 15% deposit and a monthly payment of £210 for 3 years. Calculate the total H.P costs. Example 3. Solution. Cost of deposit: 15% of 8500 = £1275 Monthly payments 3 years = 36 months. 210 x 36 = £7560 Total H.P price: £1275 + £7560 = £8 835

  13. How much would a £240 000 house cost to ensure if the insurance company charges £2.76 per £1000 insured ? Insurance Premiums. Example 1. Solution. £1000 worth of insurance = £2.76 £240 000 worth of insurance = 2.76 x 240 = £662.40
