This month Christy sold $1,495.00 worth of food storage container sets. What is Gina's total graduated commission?

Total commission= $377.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

She earns a 12 percent commission on her first $350 worth of sales, 25 percent on the next $650 in sales, and 35 percent on all sales exceeding $1,000.

First, we need to determine the total commission formula:

Total comission= x*0.12 + y*0.25 + w*0.35

x= sales up to $350

y= sales from $351 up to $1,000

w= sales from $1,001 to infinity

Now, for $1,495

Total commission= 350*0.12 + 650*0.25 + 495*0.35

Total commission= $377.75
