Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a jewelry salesperson earns $6\frac{2}{5}$% commission on all sales. Today she sold $5,570 in jewelry.

To find the total commission earned by salesperson is same as finding the $6\frac{2}{5}$% of 5,570.  

Let us convert $6\frac{2}{5}$ in decimal form.  

$6\frac{2}{5}=6.4$

$\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=\frac{6.4}{100}\times 5,570$

$\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=0.064\times 5,570$

$\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=356.48$

Therefore, the total commission earned by salesperson is $356.48.
