Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that James earns $1000 weekly base pay as a sales-person.

We know that, we have 4 weeks in a month. So, monthly salary of james is

Monthly income [tex]=\$1000\times 4=\$4,000[/tex]

It is said that he sold $20,000 worth of merchandise last month and he gets a 10% commission on everything he sells.

Commission [tex]=\$20,000\times \dfrac{10}{100}=\$2,000[/tex]

Total amount = Monthly income + Commission

          [tex]=\$4,000+\$2,000[/tex]  

          [tex]=\$6,000[/tex]  

Therefore, the correct option is C.
