Question

Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $380 plus a 5.0% commission on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a work week if she sold $4,600 worth of merchandise?

Answer 1

Calculate 5% of how much she sold, then add it to her weekly salary.

5% = 0.05

Commission: 4600 x 0.05 = $230

Total pay: 380 + 230 = $610
