Question

Jill earns a salary of $450.00 per week , plus a commission of 20% on all sales. Last week she sold $1,123 worth of goods. How much was she paid

Answer 1

To find 20% of the value of the goods,
1,123 x 20% (this is the same as 1,123 x 0.2)
= 224.6

Add the salary and the commission,
450.00 + 224.6
= 674.60

Therefore Jill was paid $649.60 last week
