5. Kara earns a 3.5% commission on all sales made by recommendations to the hair salon. If the total amount of sales from referrals by Karo was $3,670, how much did Kara make?

Let's begin by listing out the information given to us:

Commission (C) = 3.5% = 0.035

Total amount of sales (T) = $3,670

To determine how much Kara made, we will find the product of the commission & total amount of sales:


\begin{gathered} Kara(K)=Commission(C)\cdot TotalAmountOfSales(T) \\ K=C\cdot T=0.035\cdot3670=128.45 \\ K=128.45 \end{gathered}

We therefore, see that Kara made $128.45 from referrals
