Question

Mr. Babe used to work at a local furniture store.

Answer 1

A. Mr. Babe made a commission of $14.85

B. He makes $15.75 per hour after the raise.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. While he worked there, Mr. Babe earned 3% on how much he sells. If he sold $495 couch, how much commission did he make?

Worth of sold couch = $495

Commission = 3%

Amount of commission = 3% of total worth sold

Amount of commission = $\frac{3}{100}*495$

Amount of commission = $\frac{1485}{100}=\ 14.85$

Mr. Babe made a commission of $14.85

B. On top of his commission, Mr. Babe made $15 per hour. He eventually got a raise with an increase of 5% per hour. After the raise, how much did he make per hour?

Amount earned per hour = $15

Increase = 5%

As the increment is on per hour amount, therefore,

Amount of increase = 5% of per hour amount

Amount of increase = $\frac{5}{100}*15=\frac{75}{100} = \ 0.75$

New amount per hour = Per hour amount + amount of increase

New amount per hour = 15+0.75 = $15.75

He makes $15.75 per hour after the raise.
