Alyssa is paid 5 percent commission on her total sales each month. Last month, she sold $30,000 worth of items. After a state tax rate of 9 percent is deducted from her commission, how much is left to the nearest dollar?

Alyssa’s commission is 5% of $30,000: 0.05 × $30,000 = $1,500. The 9% tax on that commission is 0.09 × $1,500 = $135, so she keeps $1,500 − $135 = $1,365. The correct choice is $1,365.
