Answer 1

Answer:

$809.25    

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find 9.75% of each mattress.

$\text{Commission on 1st mattress}=2400\times \frac{9.75}{100}$

$\text{Commission on 1st mattress}=24\times 9.75$

$\text{Commission on 1st mattress}=234$

Therefore, Itney will get $234 from selling 1st mattress.

$\text{Commission on 2nd mattress}=3200\times \frac{9.75}{100}$

$\text{Commission on 2nd mattress}=32\times 9.75$

$\text{Commission on 2nd mattress}=312$

Therefore, Itney will get $312 from selling 2nd mattress.

$\text{Commission on 3rd mattress}=1900\times \frac{9.75}{100}$

$\text{Commission on 3rd mattress}=19\times 9.75$

$\text{Commission on 3rd mattress}=185.25$

Therefore, Itney will get $185.25 from selling 3rd mattress.

$\text{Commission on 4th mattress}=800\times \frac{9.75}{100}$

$\text{Commission on 4th mattress}=8\times 9.75$

$\text{Commission on 4th mattress}=78$

Therefore, Itney will get $78 from selling 4th mattress.

Let us add all the commission amounts to find the total amount earned by Itney from selling 4 mattresses.

$\text{Total amount earned by Itney}=234+312+185.25+78$

$\text{Total amount earned by Itney}=809.25$

Therefore, Itney have earned $809.25 last week.
