Question

Al earns $500 a week selling shoes. He also earns 8% commission on all of his shoe sales. Last week, he sold $1,540 worth of shoes. How much money did Al earn last week?

Answer 1

To determine the amount Al made last week, you will need to calculate the commission he made on his sales and add the $500 to that amount.

Here is the math equation showing this:

($1540 x 0.08) + $500 = $623.20

Al made $623.20 last week.
