Question

Paula receives a salary of $320 per week plus a 6% commission on her sales. What are her total earnings for a week when her sales are $3,800?

Answer 1

$548

Explanation:

Paula's total salary for the week is the sum of $320 and 6% of her total sales.

That comes to $320 + 0.06($3,800) = $320 + $228 = $548.

Her total earnings for the week are $548.

Answer 2

Total earnings of Paula = $548

Explanation:

As per statement given in the question Paula receives a salary of $320 per week and 6% commission on her sales.

Her salary for a week = $320

On sales of $3800 commission earned by her = 6% of 3800

= 3800×0.06

= $228

Therefore, total earning of Paula = 320 + 228 = $548
