Question

Sofia earns a 4% commission in addition to her salary of $2,750 per month. Last month her sales totaled $8,400. What were Sofia's total earnings for the month?

Answer 1

To calculate Sofia's total earnings for the month, you can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the commission she earned on her sales.

2. Add her monthly salary to the commission.

First, calculate the commission:

Commission = Sales Total × Commission Rate

=$8,400×4%

=$8,400×4/100

= $8,400 × 0.04

= $336

Now, add her monthly salary to the commission:

Total Earnings = Monthly Salary + Commission

= $2,750 + $336

= $3,086

So, Sofia's total earnings for the month were $3,086.
