Question

Nadia is a stockbroker. She earns ​11% commission each week. Last​ week, she sold ​$5,400 worth of stocks. How much did she make last week in​ commission? If she averages that same amount each​ week, how much did she make in commission in​ 2011?

Answer 1

Explanation:

C=0.11×5,400=594

Nadia made a total of $594 last week in commission sales

b). To express the total amount she made in 2011, we derive the formula below;

Total amount (2011)=Average weekly commission× number of weeks in 2011

where;

Average weekly commission=$594

number of weeks in 2011=52

replacing;

Total amount (2011)=(594×52)=30,888

The total amount Nadia in commission in 2011=$30,888
