Weekly salary = $310

Commission = 3.05% of the sales.

Problem is asked to find total earning of a year.

A year has 52 weeks.

Total salary of 52 weeks at the rate $310 for each week = 52 * 310 = $16120.

Total sales of a year = $1,015,092.

Commission earned = 3.05 % of $1,015,092.

3.05 % percentange could be written in decimal form = 3.05/100 = 0.0305.

Total commission earned = 0.0305 * 1,015,092 = $30960.306.

Total earnings of the year = Fix salary for 52 weeks of the year + Commission earned on $1,015,092 sales.

= $16120 + $30960.306

= $ 47080.306

Rounding it to the nearest cent, we get

$ 47080.31.

Therefore, total earnings of the year = $ 47080.31.
