Question

An employee at a clothing store makes $12.75 per hour plus a 5.75% commission on sales. This week she worked 45 hours and her sales were $12,675. How much did she earn this week?​

Answer 1

$1,302.56

Explanation:

You must first determine how much she earned throughout her working hours.

$12.75 multiplied by 45 hours equals $573.75.

The next step is to determine how much she earned from her sales commission.

728.8125 = $12,675 x 0.0575(5.75 percent converted to a decimal).

To get $728.81, round 728.8125 to the nearest hundredth.

These two integers should be added together.

$728.81+$573.75=$1,302.56

Answer 2

Answer:$1,302.56

Explanation:

First you must find the amount she made from working her hours.

$12.75 x 45(hours)=$573.75

Next you must find how much she made from her commission on sales.

$12,675 x 0.0575(5.75% converted to a decimal)=728.8125.

Round 728.8125 to the nearest hundredth to get $728.81.

Add these two numbers together.

$728.81+$573.75=$1,302.56
