Answer 1

4800-6.5%=4488
4488+325=4813
so in total she gets 4813

Answer 2

Answer:

Mae Ling would make $637 in a work week if she sold $4800.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Mae Ling earns $325 per week plus sales commissions of 6.5%, if we express this would be:

$Earnings = \ 325 + 0.065x$

Where $x$ refer to sales. Also 0.065 is the decimal expression of 6.5%.

Now, we just need to replace the amount sold and calculate her weekly earnings:

$Earnings = \ 325 + 0.065(\ 4800)=\ 637$

Therefore, Mae Ling would make $637 in a work week if she sold $4800.
