Total pay = $117.50

Step-by-step explanation

Amount of total pay is computed using the following equation:

 

Total pay = (Number of baskets sold * Commission for each basket sold) + (Total sales * Commission as a percentage of the sales)

                 = (19 * $2) + ($530 * 0.15)

                 = $38 + $79.50

                 = $117.50
