Answer 1

She would make $573.5 in a work if she sold $4,700 worth of merchandise

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

• Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $315 plus a 5.5% commission on sales at a gift shop
• She sold by $4,700

We need to find how much she would make in a work week

∵ Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $315

∵ She earns a 5.5% commission on sales

∵ She sold by $4,700 in that week

- Add $315 to the product of 5.5% and $4,700

∴ She made = 315 + (5.5% × 4,700)

∵ 5.5% = 5.5 ÷ 100 = 0.055

∴ She made = 315 + (0.055 × 4,700)

∴ She made = 315 + 258.5

∴ She made = 573.5

She would make $573.5 in a work if she sold $4,700 worth of merchandise
