Question

Sandy works at a clothing store. She makes $7 per hour plus earns 10% commission on her sales. She worked 80 hours over the last two weeks and had a total of $2,384 in sales before taxes. Which of the following is closest to how much she will earn in hourly wages and commission for those two weeks? A. $560 B. $238 C. $798 D. $294

Answer 1

Option C. $798

Explanation:

we know that

The total hours worked the last two weeks ( 80 hours) multiplied by $7 per hour plus the 10% commission on her sales ($2,384) is equal to the amount of money that Sandy earned for those two weeks

Remember that

`10\%=10/100=0.10`

so

`80(7)+0.10(2,384)`

`\$560+\$238.4=\$798.40`
