Let's use cross multiplication:

45ft --------------------->x%

92ft----------------------->100%

Therefore:

45/92 = x/100

Solving for x:

x = (45*100)/92 = 48.91%

So, the percent change is:

100% - 48.91% =51.09%

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gross weekly salary = base salary + commision

Where:

Base salary = 11.50*t

t = hours worked

comission = S*0.06

If you work 40 hours and sell 5000, then:

t = 40

S = 5000

So:

Gross weekly salary = 11.50*(40) + 0.06(5000) = 460 + 300 = $760
