Answer: $2,655
Step-by-step explanation:
She earns $9.75 per hour.
She earns 15% of whatever she sells.
She worked 160 hours
She sold 9 vacuum cleaners. (5 for $1,100 each) (4 for $450 each)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calculate the total earnings for 160 hours.
If she earns $9.75 per hour, multiply it by the total amount of hours she worked (160)
9.75*160=$1,560
Now calculate how much extra money she earned due to the sales.
To do this, we have to calculate 15% of the total price of sales.
She sold 5 vacuum cleaners for $1,100 each. Multiply to calculate the total earnings.
1100*5=$5,500
Do the same with the other 4 vacuum cleaners.
450*4=$1,800
Add up these two earnings for the total earnings.
5500+1800=$7,300
Calculate 15% of that.
To calculate percentages, convert to decimals first and then multiply. To convert to decimal, we take the percentage and divide it by 100.
15/100=0.15
Multiply
0.15*7300=$1,095
Finally, add her paycheck and extra money to calculate the total compensation for last month.
1560+1095=$2,655
