Answer 2

Answer:

gross pay = $552.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Kenneth earns a commission on his total sales = $4\frac{1}{2}$ %

                                                                              = $\frac{9}{2}$ %

                                                                              = 4.5%

If his sales are 4500 this week.

His commission would be = 4.5% × 4500

                                           =  $\frac{4.5}{100}\times 4500$

                                           = 0.045 × 4500

                                           = $202.50

His weekly salary is $350

Gross pay = 350 + 202.50 = $552.50

Kenneth's gross pay would be $552.50 this week.
