Cara's rate of commission is 12%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Paycheck = $6500

Salary = $1000

Commission = Paycheck - Salary

Commission = 6500-1000 = $5500

Total sales for the week = $45000

Commission rate = $\frac{Commission}{Total\ Sales}*100$

$Commission\ rate=\frac{5500}{45000}*100\\\\Commission\ rate=\frac{550000}{45000}\\\\ Commission\ rate=12.22\%$

Rounding off to nearest whole number.

Commission rate = 12%

Cara's rate of commission is 12%.
