    Edgar Anderson earns a fixed amount of $200 per week.

    He also earns a commission of 15% above any sales over $1000

    In the given week the sales has amounted to $2500

    So,

    Amount over which Edgar Anderson will earn 15% interest = (2500 - 1000) dollars

    = 1500 dollars.

    Hence interest earned by Edgar Anderson in the week = [1500 * (15/100) ] dollars

    = (15 * 15) dollars

    = 225 dollars

    The gross pay of Edgar Anderson = (200 + 225) dollars

    = 425 dollars

    Hence the correct option for this question is option 'D'.
