Question

Hannah works at an electronics store as a salesperson. Hannah earns a 7% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sales she makes and earns a 7% commission on all computer sales. How much money would Hannah earn in commission on a day that she sold $1000 worth of phones and $1700 worth of computers?

A. $189
B. $119
C. $238
D. $154

Answer 1

Hannah will earn a total commission of $189 for the day by adding her commission from phone sales ($70) and computer sales ($119).

Step-by-step explanation:

Hannah's commission from phone sales is calculated by multiplying the total dollar amount of phone sales by her commission rate, which is 7%. The same method is used for computing her commission from computer sales.

For phone sales: $1000 × 0.07 = $70

For computer sales: $1700 × 0.07 = $119

Now, we add the two amounts to find the total commission Hannah earns in a day.

Total commission = commission from phones + commission from computers

Total commission = $70 + $119 = $189

Therefore, Hannah will earn $189 in commission on that day.
