Jessica earns a base salary of $50.00 every week with an additional 5% commission on everything she sells. If Jessica sold $1100.00 worth of items last week, what was her total pay?

You would do 50+5/100, which is 50.05 . then you add 1100 to 50.05 and you get 1,150.05

5 percent of 1100 is $55 (1100/100*5) so 1100+55+50=$1205 total
