The correct answer is $614

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total amount Kiki earned during the three days, it is necessary to find out first the money she earned on commissions ( 8% of each item she sold) and then add this to the total of her base salary ($150 per day). To begin, you can find the 8% of any price by dividing the total price by 100 and then multiplying it by 8, considering the total price represents 100% and by dividing by 100 you will get the value of 1%, then if you multiply this by 8 you will know the 8%.

$350 /100 = 3.5 x 8 = $28 (commission of the sofa chair)

$500/100 = 5 x 8 = $40 (commission of the loveseat)

$1,200/ 100 = 12 x 8 = $96 (commission of the couch)

This means, Kiki earned a total of $164 in commissions (28 + 40 + 96 = 164), and if you add this to the total of her base salary (150 + 150 + 150 =450) during the three days, the total earned is $614 because $ 450 (base salary) + $164 (commissions) equals $614.
