Answer 1

Felix earns total $594 per week.

Explanation:

Felix’s sales are $53000.

So, the amount of sales over $4800 will be:
`\$53000-\$4800= \$48200`

Felix earns $450 per week and additional 3% of sales over $4800.

So, his additional income
`= (\$4800* 0.03)=\$144`

Thus, Felix's total income will be:
`(\$450+\$144)=\$594`
