Question

Danielle earns a 7.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary of $775 per week. How much did she earn last week if she sold $4,500 in electronics merchandise? Round your intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Calculate 7.25% of 4500 = (4500 x 7.25) / 100 = 326.25.

Danielle's base salary = 775

Last week salary = 775

Total earned in a week = 775 + 326.25 = 1101.25
