Question

Mae Ling earns weekly salary of $300 plus a 6.0% commision on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a work week if she sold $4,300 worth of merchandise?She will make $ ?

Answer 1

Weekly salary = $300

Commision on sales = 6.0%

Let's find how much she will make in a week if she sold $4,300 worth of merchandise.

To find how much she will make, apply the formula below:

`A=(\text{amount sold }* commision)+Weekly\text{ earnings}`

Thus, we have:

`\begin{gathered} A=(4300*(6)/(100))+300 \\ \\ A=(4300*0.06)+300 \\ \\ A=258+300 \\ \\ A=558 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, she would make $558 in a work week.

ANSWER:

$558
