Answer:

$592

Explanation:

To calculate Sam's total earnings for the week, you can add his base salary to the commission earned from the sales.

Calculate the commission:

Commission=4.5% of $2600

Commission=0.045×$2600

Add the commission to the base salary:

Total Earnings=Base Salary+ CommissionTotal Earning =Base Salary+Commission Let's calculate:

Commission=0.045×$2600=$117

Total Earnings=$475+$117=$592

So, Sam would make $592 during the work week if he sold $2600 worth of merchandise.
