Answer 2

First, we need to calculate Danielle's commission on the merchandise she sold:

Commission = 7.25% of $4,100 = 0.0725 x $4,100 = $296.25

Next, we need to calculate her total earnings for the week:

Total earnings = Base salary + Commission

Total earnings = $725 + $296.25

Total earnings = $1,021.25

Therefore, Danielle earned $1,021.25 last week.
