145

Explanation:

Answer 2

$145

Explanation:

Let the regular salary per day of Bailey be
`s_(r)`

Let the salary through commission be
`s_(c)`

Let the sales on a day be
`sales`

It is given that
`total`=
`s_(r)+s_(c)`

It is given that
`s_(r)=90`

It is given that
`s_(c)=11`% of
`sales`

So,
`s_(c)=(11)/(100)* 500=55`

So,
`total=s_(c)+s_(r)=55+90=145`

Hence,Bailey earns $
`145` on thursday.
