Question

Danielle earns a 7.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary of $625 per week. How much did she earn last week if she sold $4,500 in electronics merchandise? Round your intermediate calculations and answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

She earned 1,076 dollars and 25 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

x =  7.25 * 4,500 / 100

x = 7.25 * 45

x = 326.25

So commission earned is 326.25 $

We need to add this to her base salary for the week, so:

750 + 326.25 = 1, 076.25

Therefore she earned 1,076 dollars and 25 cents.
