Answer 2

C. $649.60

Explanation:

We have been given that Jill earns a salary of $425.00 per week, plus a commission of 20% on all sales. Last week she sold $1,123 worth of goods.

First of all, we will find 20% of $1,123 to find the commission earned.

`\text{Amount of commission}=\$1,123* (20)/(100)`

`\text{Amount of commission}=\$1,123* 0.20`

`\text{Amount of commission}=\$224.60`

The Jill's income would be $425.00 plus $224.60.

`\text{Jill's income}=\$425.00+\$224.60`

`\text{Jill's income}=\$649.60`

Therefore, Jill's income would be $649.60 and option C is the correct choice.
