Answer 1

Answer:

Bailey made a total of $145 on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Derive an expression for Bailey's total income on Thursday as follows;

A=F+(R×S)

where;

A=total income earned

F=fixed income per day

R=commission rate

S=total sales

In our case;

A=unknown

F=$90 per day

R=11%=11/100=0.11

S=$500

Step 2

Substitute the values and solve;

A=90+(11% of $500)

A=90+(0.11×500)

A=90+55=145

A=$145

Bailey made a total of $145 on Thursday
