Answer:

$1,740

Step-by-step explanation:

Setting up an equation to solve for Lesley's total salary would be the sum of her monthly base salary ($1,500) and the amount of her commission for any sales over $20,000:

Salary = $1,500 + (sales - $20,000)(0.04)

Since Lesley sold $26,000 in sales this month, we can calculate her total salary and commission:

Salary = $1500 + ($26,000-$20,000)(0.04) or $1500 + ($6000)(0.04)

Salary = $1500 + $240 = $1,740.00
