Paula's total salary for the week is the sum of $320 and 6% of her total sales.

Her total earnings for the week are $548.

Answer 2

Answer:

Total earnings of Paula = $548

Step-by-step explanation:

As per statement given in the question Paula receives a salary of $320 per week and 6% commission on her sales.

Her salary for a week = $320

On sales of $3800 commission earned by her = 6% of 3800

= 3800×0.06

= $228

Therefore, total earning of Paula = 320 + 228 = $548
