Question

Sandy works at a clothing store. She makes $9 per hour plus earns 10% commission on her sales. She worked 80 hours over the last two weeks and had a total of $1,837 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

Given:
$9 per hour
10% commission on her sales.
80 hours over the last two weeks
$1,837 total sales

$9h + 10%s ⇒ (9*80) + (0.10*1,837) ⇒ $720 + 183.70 = $903.70

Sandy will earn $903.70 in the two week period.
