Question

You decide to take a job at a local clothing store that pays on commission. Commission means that you will earn money based upon your total sales. You agree to work for a base pay of $25 a week plus a 10% commission rate. Write an expression to describe your total paycheck each week based on your commission rate and base pay.

Answer 1

Answer: The required expression would be 25+0.1×25 = $27.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of base pay = $25

Rate of commission = 10%

Amount of commission is given by

$\dfrac{10}{100}\times 25\\\\=0.10\times 25\\\\=\ 2.5$

So, total paycheck for each week would be

$\ 25+\ 2.5\\\\=\ 27.5$

Hence, the required expression would be 25+0.1×25 = $27.5.

Answer 2

$25 + .10s= total paycheck
