Mae Ling earns a weekly salary of $345 plus a 5.0% commission on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a work week if she sold $4,700 worth of merchandise?

Answer 1

580$

Explanation:

First you have to do the 5% of 4700 because she earns the weekly salary (345) plus the 5% of the things that she sale.

(4700 · 5)/100 = 235

Then you have to add 235 plus the weekly salary

235 + 345 = 580

Answer 2

She would make $
`$580` in one work week.

Explanation:

First, we need an equation.

345 + c = y

c stands for the commission.

y stands for the total amount of money made

So let's find out what the commission is:

5% of 4,700 = 235

c = 235

So, 345 + 235 =
`580`

y =
`580`
