Simple Averages • Average- • Single number used to represent a group of numbers • ($18 + $58 + $32) / 3= • ($2,400+$3,200+$1,500+$1,700)/4 • $264/38 • ($35,800+$47,000)/2=
Averages in Grouped Data E. 5 x $12 = $60 2 x $9 = $18 + $11 $89/8= F. ($280 + $315 + $424 + $265)/ 4 =
Unknown Items in a Set of Data G. 68+80+75+79= 77 x 5= 385-302 = H. 4 x 86 = 420-344 =
Recording Hours Worked • How do you clock in? • Magnetic Strip Card • Time Card • Time Sheet • Computer Log-In
Overtime and Overtime Pay Rates • Overtime- • Time worked beyond the regular working day or week • Time-and-a-half pay- • x 1.5 • Double time- • x 2

Regular and Overtime Wages • S1: Find the regular & overtime hours worked • S2: Find the overtime pay rate • S3: Find the regular pay • S4: Find the overtime pay • S5: Add regular and overtime pay
C. Regular 8 + 8 + 6 + 8 + 8 = Overtime 1.75 + 0.5 = $13.69 x 1.5 = 38 x $13.69 = 2.25 x 20.535 = $520.22 + $46.20 =
D. Regular 40 Overtime 45.3 – 40 = $17.50 x 1.5 = $17.50 x 40 = $26.25 x 13.4 = $700 + $351.75 =
1.4 Commission • Straight Commission Commission- An amount for each item sold or a percent of the dollar value of sales Quantity sold x rate of = commission commission • $1.30 x 74 = • $0.075 x 1,200
Sales x Rate of commission = commission C. 0.15 x $9,500 = D. $2870 + $3,150 + $3,940 = $9,960 x 0.15 =
Commission Based on Quota • Fixed amount is called quota • Have to meet quota before receive commission E. $2,890-$2,000 = $890 x 0.03 = $26.7 + $125 = F. $29,700 - $15,000 = $14,700 x 0.07 = $1,029 + $2,300 = $3,329
Graduated Commission • Rate of commission increases as the sales increases G. $100,000 x 0.03 = $120,000- $100,000 = $20,000 x 0.05 = $3,000 + $1,000 = H. $112,000 - $85,000 = $85,000 x 0.15 = $27,000 x 0.18= $4,860 + $12,750 =
Rate of Commission on Sales Rate of = Amount of / Sales Commission Commission I. $448 / $6,400 = J. $3,240 / $54,000 =
