Answer 1

$356.48

Explanation:

We have been given that a jewelry salesperson earns
`6(2)/(5)`% commission on all sales. Today she sold $5,570 in jewelry.

To find the total commission earned by salesperson is same as finding the
`6(2)/(5)`% of 5,570.

Let us convert
`6(2)/(5)` in decimal form.

`6(2)/(5)=6.4`

`\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=(6.4)/(100)* 5,570`

`\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=0.064* 5,570`

`\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=356.48`

Therefore, the total commission earned by salesperson is $356.48.
