The correct answer is $131250
Explanation:
Talia's earnings during one year are equal to her base yearly salary ($65000) added to her commission. Now, to know the commission it is necessary to find the 2.65% of her total sales ($2.5 million)
1. Divide the total sales or 2,500,000 by 100 considering this represents the total or 100%
2,500,000 ÷ 100 = 25000
2. Multiply this number by the specific percentage (2.65)
25000 x 2.65 = 66250
Now add the commission and the yearly salary
65000 + 66250 = 131250
This means the total earnings of Talia were $131250
