Minimum salary: $2,000.00 Commission: 6 percent on $34,000.00 What is the gross pay?

To calculate the gross pay, we need to add the base salary and the commission earned.

Given:
- Minimum salary: $2,000.00
- Commission rate: 6%
- Sales amount: $34,000.00

First, calculate the commission:
\[
\text{Commission} = \text{Sales Amount} \times \text{Commission Rate} = 34,000.00 \times 0.06 = 2,040.00
\]

Now, add the commission to the minimum salary to get the gross pay:
\[
\text{Gross Pay} = \text{Minimum Salary} + \text{Commission} = 2,000.00 + 2,040.00 = 4,040.00
\]

So, the gross pay is **$4,040.00**.
