hello

the question given request we calculate the amount earned via commission sales weekly

she made a sale of $640 of jewelry in a particular week.

we need to find 5% of 640 to know how much she earned that week

5% of 640


\begin{gathered} 5\text{ \% of 640} \\ (5)/(100)=(x)/(640) \\ \text{cross multiply both sides and solev for x} \\ 100* x=5*640 \\ 100x=3200 \\ \text{divide both sides by 100} \\ (100x)/(100)=(3200)/(100) \\ x=32 \end{gathered}

from the calculation above, Hindi earned $32 that week on commission
