Answer:
a). Nadia made a total of $825 last week in commission sales
b). The total amount Nadia in commission in 2011=$42,900
Explanation:
Step 1
Express the amount in commission she earns from her sales as follows;
C=S×r
where;
C=commission earned
S=total value of stock sales
r=commission rate
In our case;
C=unknown
S=$7,500
r=11%=11/100=0.11
replacing;
C=11% of 7,500
C=(11/100)×7,500
C=0.11×7,500=825
Nadia made a total of $825 last week in commission sales
b). To express the total amount she made in 2011, we derive the formula below;
Total amount (2011)=Average weekly commission×number of weeks in 2011
where;
Average weekly commission=$825
number of weeks in 2011=52
replacing;
Total amount (2011)=(825×52)=42,900
The total amount Nadia in commission in 2011=$42,900
