1. **State the problem:**
Mary sells $28,000 worth of furniture and has already received a draw of $766.15. We need to calculate how much commission is still owed to her based on the incremental commission rates.
2. **Commission rates and sales brackets:**
- Level 1: $0 to $11,700 at 3.3% commission
- Level 2: $11,700 to $21,200 at 4.1% commission
- Level 3: Over $21,200 at 4.9% commission
3. **Calculate commission for each level:**
- Level 1 commission: $11,700 \times 0.033 = 386.10$
- Level 2 commission: $(21,200 - 11,700) = 9,500$ sales at 4.1% commission
$$9,500 \times 0.041 = 389.50$$
- Level 3 commission: $(28,000 - 21,200) = 6,800$ sales at 4.9% commission
$$6,800 \times 0.049 = 333.20$$
4. **Total commission earned:**
$$386.10 + 389.50 + 333.20 = 1,108.80$$
5. **Calculate commission still owed:**
Mary has already received a draw of $766.15, so the commission still owed is:
$$1,108.80 - 766.15 = 342.65$$
**Final answer:** Mary is still owed $342.65 in commission.
