Question

Davion Hunt Freeman

A literary agent makes $30,000 a year plus 13% commission on the sales of her clients' books to publishers. The agent sold 4 books for $175,000 each for her
clients this year.
Find her total earnings.

Answer 1

She made $121000.

Explanation:

The money the agent sold was:

4*175000=700000 (dollars)

but she only gets 13% of this, so she earned:

700000*0.13=91000 (dollars)

She also makes $30000 per year, so the total income she earned was:

91000+30000=121000
