Answer 1

Answer:

She earned $1517.04 last month

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Alexis sells season tickets to soccer games

∵ The season tickets cost $225.75

∵ She makes a commission of 16% on each sale

→ Multiply 225.75 by 16% to get her commission per ticket

∵ 16% = 16 ÷ 100 = 0.16

∴ Her commission per ticket = 0.16 × 225.75

∴ Her commission per ticket = 36.12 dollars

∵ Last month she sold 42 season tickets

∴ The number of tickets = 42

→ Multiply her commission per ticket by the number of tickets

∵ Her total commission = 42 × 36.12

∴ Her total commission = 1517.04 dollars

∴ She earned $1517.04 last month
