Question

Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $50 per day and she worked 30 days in the quarter, what is the total amount she earned?

Answer 1

Answer: $\ 1637.88$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Paige earns $\ 50\ \text{per day}$

She worked $30\ \text{days in a quarter}$

Quarter sale$=\ 4596$

If Paige gets $3\ \% \ \text{commission of her sales}$

Then the commission she gets in a quarter is $0.03\times 4596$

So the amount she earns

$=30\ \text{days work+ commission}$

$=30\times 50+0.03\times 4596$

$=1500+137.88$

$=\ 1637.88$
