Answer 1

Total Amount made by Mailing in a week is $3395.

Explanation:

Given:

Fixed Salary = $385

Percentage of Commission on Sale = 70%

Total Sale = 4300

we need to find Total amount made by Mailing in a week.

We will first find the amount made on commission.

Amount made on commission =
`(70)/(100) * 4300 = \$3010`

Now Total Amount made by Mailing in a week is equal to sum of Fixed Salary and Amount made on commission.

Framing in equation form we get;

Total Amount made by Mailing = $385 + $3010 = $3395.

Hence Total Amount made by Mailing in a week is $3395.
