Question

An employee at a clothing store makes $12.75 per hour plus a 5.75% commission on sales. This week she worked 45 hours and her sales were $12,675. How much did she earn this week?

Answer 1

Answer: $ 1302.56

Explanation:

First find her income per hour. It says for every hour she earns $12.75 so in 45 hours, she will earn 12.45 time 45.

12.75 * 45 = 573.75

This means she made $573.75 in 45 hours.

Now we have to find out how much she earns on commission on sales.

To find that multiply 5.75% by the total sales .

5.75% * 12675 = 728.81

now add $573.75 and $728.81 to find her total income or how much she end that week.

$573.75 + $728.81 = 1302.56
