Answer 1

Answer:  662.50 dollars

==========================================================

Explanation:

If she doesn't sell a single thing, she still earns the base weekly salary of $310. This is the smallest amount she can earn per week.

If she does make sales, then she'll earn an additional 0.075x dollars where x is the amount of sales made (the total value of the merchandise). The 0.075 is the decimal form of 7.5%

In total, she makes 0.075x+310 dollars per week. In this case, she sold x = 4700 dollars worth of goods, which means,

0.075x+310 = 0.075*4700+310 = 662.50

She earned 662.50 dollars for that week.

Answer 2

It’s $345.25 bc you have to multiply commission and the money sold which is .075 x 4,700 which equals 34.25 and then you add the weekly salary which is 310 and you get $345.25
