Question

Sandi works for Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics and earns $500 per week salary plus 4% commission on sales over $2,000. If Sandi sold $2,733 last week, what was her salary?

Answer 1

Step 1

Find the $4\%$ commission on sales

we know that

$4\%=\frac{4}{100}=0.04$

$\ 2,733*0.04=\ 109.32$

Step 2

Find the total salary last week

$total\ salary=\ 500+\ 109.32=\ 609.32$

therefore

the answer is

$\ 609.32$

Answer 2

To find the amount of money she earned out of the 2733 you must first find what 4% of 2000 is. its 80 which means for every $2000 she sells she earns $80. she sold just over 2 amounts of 2000 therefore
her salary is $609.32
