Answer 2

The weekly gross pay is $1501.84 .

Explanation:

As given

Martha earns a weekly salary of $1428 plus 4% commission.

Last week, she sold $1846 worth of products.

4% is written in the decimal form

`= (4)/(100)`

= 0.04

Commission Price = 0.04 × Worth of the products sold last week

Putting values in the above

Commission Price = 0.04 × $1846

= $73.84

Weekly gross pay of the Martha = Weekly salary + Commission Price .

= $1428 + $73.84

= $ 1501.84

Therefore the weekly gross pay is $1501.84 .
