Question

Serenity works in a department store selling clothing. She makes a guaranteed salary of $300 per week, but is paid a commision on top of her base salary equal to 25% of her total sales for the week. How much would Serenity make in a week in which she made $1075 in sales? How much would Serenity make in a week if she made x dollars in sales?

Answer 1

$568.75

Explanation:

Serenitys salary s is given by the equation:

s = 300 + 0.25*x

In case of x = 1075:

s = 300 + 0.25*1075 = 568.75
