Question

Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $50 per day and she worked 30 days in the quarter, what is the total amount she earned?

$137.88

$1,500.00
$1,637.88

Answer 2

How you would set this up would be as follows:

(50*30)+4,596*.03

The 50*30 is her earning $50 a day for 30 days. Then to find her commission earnings you multiply her sales of 4,596 times the commission rate of 3%(when you move the decimal place you get .03)

Add them together and you get her total amount earned of $1,637.88

Hope this helped!
