Francois earns a weekly salary of $475 plus a 5.5% commission on sales at a gift store. How much would he earn in a week if he sold $700 in goods?

So you're going to multiply his commission percentage by his sales, which in this case would be $700 X 5.5% and you get $38.5. You're then going to add the weekly salary of $475, and get $513.50.

Hope this helps!

It would be: 700 + (700 * 5.5%)
= 700 + (700 * 0.055) [ 5.5% = 0.055 ]
= 700 + 38.5
= 738.5

In short, Your Answer would be: $738.5

Hope this helps!
