Answer 1

Your total earning for the week is $260

Explanation:

You earn a salary of $200 weekly, which is constant. Then there is 3% commission on sales you make weekly too.

So it you make $2000, your commission is

3/100 × 2000 = $60

So your total earning for the week is constant income (salary) + commission, which is

$200 +$60 = $260
