Question

Sandy works at a clothing store. She makes $7 per hour plus earns 15% commission on her sales. She worked 75 hours over the last two weeks and had a total of $2,566 in sales before taxes.

Which of the following is closest to how much she will earn in hourly wages and commission for those two weeks?

Answer 1

$910 dollars.

Explanation:

If she worked 75 hours than to find the amount she earned for that you would multiply 7 by 75. You would end up with 525.

Now you find %15 of 2,566. You end up with 384.9, but I recommend rounding up to 385.

Not you add them. 525 + 385 = 910. Don't forget the dollar sign. $910.
