Question

Sandy works at a clothing store. She makes $7 per hour plus earns 10% commission on her sales. She worked 80 hours over the last two weeks and had a total of $2,384 in sales before taxes. Which of the following is closest to how much she will earn in hourly wages and commission for those two weeks? A. $560 B. $238 C. $798 D. $294

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C. $798

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The total hours worked the last two weeks ( 80 hours) multiplied by $7 per hour plus the 10% commission on her sales ($2,384) is equal  to the amount of money that Sandy earned for those two weeks

Remember that

$10\%=10/100=0.10$

so

$80(7)+0.10(2,384)$

$\ 560+\ 238.4=\ 798.40$
