Answer 1

Find out the how much money did you make.

To proof

Let us assume that the money makes = x

As given

you earn 13% commission in addition to $5.25 per hour.

you work for 7.75 h and sell $95.20 worth of merchandise.

13 % is written in the decimal form

`= (13)/(100)`

= 0.13

13 % on the worth of merchandise = 0.13× 95.20

= $12.376

than the equation becomes

x = 12.376 + 5.25 × 7.75

x = 12.376 + 40.6875

x = 53.0635

x = $53.1 ( approx)

money did you make was $53.1 ( approx).

Hence proved
