Question

Kayla earns a weekly salary of $290 plus a 5.5% commission on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a week if she sold $5799 worth of merchandise. How do I set up this problem?

Answer 1

`\$290+5.5\%\cdot\$5799=\$290+0.055\cdot\$5799\approx\$608.95`


`Ans.\ Kayla\ make\ in\ a\ week\ about\ \$608.95`

Answer 2

`1 \ \% = (1)/(100)\\ \\5.5 \ \% = (5.5)/(100)=0.055\\ \\\$ \ 290 + 5.5 \ \% \cdot \$ \ 5799 =\$ \ 290 + 0.055\ \% \cdot \$ \ 5799 =\$ \ 290 + \$ \ 318.95 \approx \$ \ 608.95 \\ \\ Answer : \ Kaja \ earn \ in\ a \ week \ \$ \ 608.95`
