Question

joey makes $6.75 per hour plus 8% commission on all sales. how much did he make if he worked 38 hours and sold $1,042 worth of goods?

Answer 1

$339.86

Step-by-step explanation

We have that Joey makes $6.75 per hour plus 8% commission on all sales.

Joey works 38 hours.

That means that in those hours he made:

Amount = 6.75 * 38 = $256.50

He made $1042 worth of sales.

This means that he also made 8% of $1042.

That is :

`\text{Amount = }(8)/(100)\cdot1042\text{ = \$83.36}`

Therefore, the total amount of money that he made is the sum of the two amounts:

Total amount = $256.50 + $83.36

Total amount = $339.86

He made a total of $339.86
