Answer 1

0.015*202455 = 3,036.825
3,036.825+750 = 3,786.83

$3,786.83

Answer 2

Given, monthly salary of Samantha = $750.

Also given, she receives a ccommission of 1.5% for each sale.

Last month her sales = $202,455.

We have to find 1.5% of $202,455.

1.5% of $202,455 =
`(202455)(1.5/100)`

=
`(202455)(1.5)/100`

=
`(303682.5)/100`

=
`3036.825`

So, the amount of commission she received = $3036.825.

Samantha's total salary for the month = Her monthly salary + the commission she received

= $
`(725+3036.825)`

= $3761.825

So we have got the required answer.

The total salary she received is $3761.825
