Answer 1

Answer: $898.75

Explanation:

A summer job has a salary of $500 per month added to a commission of $2.75 on every item sold. The amount made by a person after selling 145 items last month will be the fixed amount added to the multiplication of the amount sold and the commission on every item. Mathematically, this will be:

$500 + ($2.75 × 145)

= $500 + $398.75

= $898.75

The options given aren't correct. The total amount made should be $898.75
