PLEASE HELP ME!! Kevin earns a base salary of $350.00 every week with an additional 12%

commission on everything he sells. If Kevin sold $4950.00 worth of items
last week, what was his total pay?

Answer: 944 dollars for the week

============================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

He sold $4950 worth of items. Take 12% of this amount to get

12% of 4950 = 0.12*4950 = 594

So he earns $594 in commission on top of the $350 base salary paid every week. In total, he earns 594+350 = 944 dollars for that week

This isn't the per week pay because he would need to sell exactly $4950 worth of goods each week to keep this same weekly pay.
