Question

PLEASE HELP?

Caitlin Grasso is a salesperson in the kitchen and bath department at Morris Supplies, Inc. She makes 5.5% straight commission on her total sales. What were her total week's sales, if her gross pay was $560?

A. $10,741.82
B. $3,640.00
C. $3,080.00
D. $10,181.82

Answer 1

5.5% = 560

1% = 560 / 5.5

100% = 100(560/5.5) = 10,181.82
*rounded

Hope this helps? :)

Answer 2

D

Explanation:

If her pay is $560, her sales is "something" whose 5.5% is 560.

We can setup the equation below and solve (let total sales be
`s`):

`(0.055)(s)=560\\0.055s=560\\s=(560)/(0.055)\\s=10,181.82`

Answer choice D is right.
