In Unit B, there was a formula to find Gross Earnings. It involved a sales commission that based earnings on a base pay and a commission. Recall the formula: Gross Earnings: **G = P + C*S** where **G**=Gross Earnings, **P**= Base Pay, **C**=Commission Percent, and **S**= Amount of Sales. Base Pay **P** depends on Hourly Pay Rate, **R**, and Hours Worked, **H**. 4. Find the Base Pay **P** and the Gross Pay **G** for each of the following: || ||
 * || Worker || Hour Pay Rate **R** || Hours Worked **H** || Base Pay **P** || Amount of Sales **S** || Total Commission **C** || Gross Pay **G** ||
 * J. Storm || $22.50 || 40 || || $250 || 5% || ||
 * A. Bell || $31.30 || 50 || || $375 || 3% || ||
 * R. Goin || $19.15 || 35 || || $180 || 7% || ||
 * S. Mang || $12.85 || 40 || || $275 || 10% || ||

5. Use the Gross Pay from above to find the Net Pay after taxes are deducted.
