Question

Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $50 per day and she worked 30 days in the quarter, what is the total amount she earned?

1.) $137.88
2.) $450.00
3.) $1,500.00
4.) $1,637.88

Answer 1

3%of 4596 this is the commission she earned that month

3% of 4596 =137.88

50×30 it's the total basic salary in the 30days

50×30= 1500

total amount= Commission+basic salary

137.88+1500= 1637.88
