Question

Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $335 plus a 7.0% commission on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a work week if she sold $4,700 worth of merchandise?

Answer 1

She made $664 during that work week.

Explanation:

As Mae Ling earns $ 335 per week plus a commission of 7% with respect to the value of the sales she makes, and in the week she made sales for $ 4,700, to determine how much money she earned in the week the following calculation must be made:

335 + (4,700 x 7/100) = X

335 + (32,900 / 100) = X

335 + 329 = X

664 = X

Therefore, during that week Mae Ling earned $ 664.
