You decide to take a job at a local clothing store that pays on commission. Commission means that you will earn money based upon your total sales. You agree to work for a base pay of $25 a week plus a 10% commission rate. Write an expression to describe your total paycheck each week based on your commission rate and base pay.

Answer: The required expression would be 25+0.1×25 = $27.5.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount of base pay = $25

Rate of commission = 10%

Amount of commission is given by


(10)/(100)* 25\\\\=0.10* 25\\\\=\$2.5

So, total paycheck for each week would be


\$25+\$2.5\\\\=\$27.5

Hence, the required expression would be 25+0.1×25 = $27.5.
