on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a work week if she sold
$5,800 worth of merchandise? Write in money format.

Answer 1

$760

Explanation:

Given data

weekly = $325

commission= 7.5%

if she sold $5,800 worth of merchandise

Her earnings will be

Week earning= base salary+ 7.5% of sales

Week earning= 325+ 7.5/100*5800

Week earning= 325+ 0.075*5800

Week earning= 325+ 435

Week earning= $760
