Explanation:

As given

Clarissa works in sales for a software company.

Her pay each month varies, because each month she receives a base pay of $2,400.00 plus 8% commission on her sales.

During the month of November, Clarissa had $18,000.00 in sales.

8% is written in the decimal form

`= (8)/(100)`

= 0.08

Commission price = 0.08 × sales in november month .

= 0.08 × 18000

= $ 1440

Total earning in november month = Base price + Commission price

= $2400 + $ 1440

= $ 3840

Therefore the total earning of Clarissa for the november month is $3840 .
