Final answer:
Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $395 plus a 5.0% commission. She would earn $600 in a week if she sold $4,100 worth of merchandise, although this is not listed in the given options.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $395 plus a 5.0% commission on sales. To calculate her total earnings when she sells $4,100 worth of merchandise, we first find her commission by multiplying her sales by the commission rate:
Commission = 5.0% of $4,100 = 0.05 × $4,100 = $205
Now, we add her commission to her weekly salary to find the total earnings:
Total Earnings = $395 (weekly salary) + $205 (commission) = $600
Therefore, Mae Ling would make $600 in a work week if she sold $4,100 worth of merchandise.
However, please note that the options provided in the question do not list $600. Since this is a discrepancy, please double-check the calculation or the options given in the question.
