Just find what is 9.75% of each sale price for the mattresswe.Then add up all the amounts that you get to get $809.25

Answer 2

$809.25

Explanation:

Let us find 9.75% of each mattress.

`\text{Commission on 1st mattress}=2400* (9.75)/(100)`

`\text{Commission on 1st mattress}=24* 9.75`

`\text{Commission on 1st mattress}=234`

Therefore, Itney will get $234 from selling 1st mattress.

`\text{Commission on 2nd mattress}=3200* (9.75)/(100)`

`\text{Commission on 2nd mattress}=32* 9.75`

`\text{Commission on 2nd mattress}=312`

Therefore, Itney will get $312 from selling 2nd mattress.

`\text{Commission on 3rd mattress}=1900* (9.75)/(100)`

`\text{Commission on 3rd mattress}=19* 9.75`

`\text{Commission on 3rd mattress}=185.25`

Therefore, Itney will get $185.25 from selling 3rd mattress.

`\text{Commission on 4th mattress}=800* (9.75)/(100)`

`\text{Commission on 4th mattress}=8* 9.75`

`\text{Commission on 4th mattress}=78`

Therefore, Itney will get $78 from selling 4th mattress.

Let us add all the commission amounts to find the total amount earned by Itney from selling 4 mattresses.

`\text{Total amount earned by Itney}=234+312+185.25+78`

`\text{Total amount earned by Itney}=809.25`

Therefore, Itney have earned $809.25 last week.
