Question

dominic earns 285$ per week, plus an 8 percent commission rate on all of his sales. If dominic sells $4,213 worth of merchandise in one week, how much will his total earning for the week be?

Answer 1

.08*4213 = 337.04
^ commission rate

To find the total earnings for the week, add 285 to the commission rate

285 + 337.04 = 622.04

Answer 2

Multiply the commission rate 8% by total merch sold

Change % to a decimal when you multiply so...

.08*4213 = 337.04
^ commission rate

To find the total earnings for the week, add 285 to the commission rate

285 + 337.04 = 622.04
