Answer 2

gross pay = $552.50

Explanation:

Kenneth earns a commission on his total sales =
`4(1)/(2)` %

=
`(9)/(2)` %

= 4.5%

If his sales are 4500 this week.

His commission would be = 4.5% × 4500

=
`(4.5)/(100)* 4500`

= 0.045 × 4500

= $202.50

His weekly salary is $350

Gross pay = 350 + 202.50 = $552.50

Kenneth's gross pay would be $552.50 this week.
