Question

Susan sells jewelry. She gets a monthly salary plus commission on her sales. Her monthly salary is $680 and her commission rate is 7%. Her sales for the month were $7,800. What is the monthly pay?

Answer 1

1,226

Explanation:

To calculate Susan's monthly pay, we need to add her monthly salary to her commission earned from her sales.

First, let's calculate Susan's commission by multiplying her sales ($7,800) by her commission rate (7%):

Commission = $7,800 * 7% = $7,800 * 0.07 = $546

Next, we add Susan's monthly salary ($680) to her commission ($546) to get her total monthly pay:

Monthly pay = Monthly salary + Commission = $680 + $546 = $1,226

Therefore, Susan's monthly pay is $1,226.
