Answer 1

Quick answer :

`= \tt\$570`

Answer with steps :

Money Dayami earns for an hour's work = $10.50

Number of hours Dayami worked last week = 40

Money Dayami would have gotten for her work :

`=\tt 10.50 * 40`

`=\tt \$ \: 420`

Thus, money earned by Dayami for her work = $420

Total sales Dayami made last week = $2050

Money Dayami must have earned as commission :

= 6% of total sales

`= \tt6 \% \: of \: 2500`

`= \tt(6)/(100) * 2500`

`=\tt (15000)/(100)`

`=\tt \$150`

Thus, money Dayami earned as a commission = $150

Dayami's weekly gross salary last week :

`= \tt420 + 150`

`=\color{plum} \tt \: \$570`

Thus, total salary = $570

Therefore, Dayami's gross salary last week = $570
