Question

4.) Laura works in a furniture store. She earns $160 a week plus 6% of all sales over

Answer 1

Answer:

$724

Step-by-step explanation:

You can do this one of two ways. The first way is to set up an equation.

160+0.06(9400)

160+564

724

Or you can use proportions.

$\frac{x}{9400}$ = $\frac{6}{100}$

Cross multiply.

100x=56400

Divide by 100 on both sides.

x=564

Add 160.

564+160=724.

Answer 2

Answer:

$724

Step-by-step explanation:

We know she makes the 6% of the 9,400, so we need to find how much that is.

To do this we calculate the following equation: 9,400 * 0.06

When we solve this, we get 564. From there we add her weekly salary (160) and get 724.
