Answer 1

$163.99

Explanation:

Hello!

First off, let's find the payment you get for working 17 hours.

• 17 * 7.12
• 121.04

You get paid $121.04 for 17 hours of work.

You also get a 5% commission on the number of sales that you made. You made $859, so you add 5% of that to $121.04.

• 5% of 859 + 121.04
• 0.05(859) + 121.04
• 42.95 + 121.04
• 163.99

You made $163.99.
