Question

Ramona works in a clothing store where she earns a base salary of $140 per day plus 14% of her daily sales. She sold $600 in clothing on Saturday and $1200 in clothing on Sunday. How much did she earn over the two days.

Answer 1

$532

Explanation:

Ramona worked for two days. So she would have already earned $280.

And she also earns 14% of $600 from the first day, and 14% of 1200.

14/100 * 600/1 = 8400/100 = $84

14/100 * 1200/1 = 16800/100 = $168

$280 + $84 + 168 = $532

Altogether, Ramona earned $532 in the total of two days! Wow that's more money then I get per month lol.

Hope this helps :D
