Answer:
$131250
Step-by-step explanation:
Talia's earnings during one year are equal to her base yearly salary ($65000) added to her commission. Now, to know the commission it is necessary to find the 2.65% of her total sales ($2.5 million)
Step 1. Divide the total sales or 2,500,000 by 100 considering this represents the total or 100%
2,500,000 ÷ 100 = 25000
Step 2. Multiply this number by the specific percentage (2.65)
25000 x 2.65 = 66250
Now add the commission and the yearly salary
65000 + 66250 = 131250
Hence, total earnings of Talia were $131250
15% off means 85% on so I would use .85x · 6 = total monthly cost to represent this problem. The dot represents times (I did not want to confuse things by using x)
Other ways to express this:
6 x .85x
6(.85x)
.85x (6)
It is rounded to the number 2,000,000.
