Answer 2

Explanation:

so she earns 9.75% commission on each mattress

turn ur percent to a decimal....and multiply that by the cost of the mattress and that will give u her commission.

0.0975(2400) + 0.0975(3200) + 0.0975(1900) + 0.0975(800) =

234 + 312 + 185.25 + 175.50 =

906.75 <=== her total commission
