B) $462.50
C) $480.50
D) $442.50

Answer 1

We cannot determine Miguel's total earnings without knowing the total sales for the week, as his earnings include both a fixed wage and a commission on sales.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to Miguel's total earnings for a week if he earns $425 per week plus a 10% commission on his sales. To answer this question, we would need to know the total amount of Miguel's sales for the week. Since the sales amount is not provided in the question, we cannot calculate the exact total earnings for Miguel.

If we had the total sales, we would calculate Miguel's earnings by adding his fixed weekly earning of $425 to the commission he gets from his sales. For example, if Miguel's sales were $500 for the week, the commission would be 10% of $500, which is $50. We would then add the $50 commission to the $425 base pay to get a total of $475.
