Answer 1

Given that Jessy earns $5.50 per hour and 5% commission on the gross amount of her sales.

We have to find the earnings if she worked 35 hours and sold $5000.

It is given that she earns $5.50 per hour. So, the earning is:

`5.50*35=192.5`

It is given that she commission of 5% on her sales. So, her earning is:

`5000*0.05=250`

Thus, her total earning is : 192.5 + 250 = $442.5.

Thus, option d is correct.
