Question

PLEASE HELP IVE BEEN WAITING FOR 3 HOURS AND NO ANSWER

Luis earns a base salary of $150.00 every week with an additional 14% on commission on everything he sells if luis sold 6050.00 worth of items last week what was his total pay

Answer 1

First, you need to create an equation for this problem. Remember 14% = 0.14
($6,050 × 0.14 + $6,050) + $150

Now, all you would have to do is solve it. You would start in the parenthesis using the order of operations (PEMDAS).
($6,050 × 0.14 + $6,050) + $150
$6,897 + $150 = $7,047

His total pay last week was $7,047.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

This situation is governed by a linear equation:

Total Pay = Base Salary + Commissions, and here that equation is:

Total Pay = $150 + 0.14(Total of sales for the week).

Here, Total Pay = $150 + 0.14($6050) = $150 + $847 = $997
