Answer 1

Mae Ling will make $679.5 in a week if she sells 4300 worth of merchandise.

Explanation:

Given that

Weekly salary of Mae Ling = $400

Commission rate = 6.5%

Mae ling's total weekly earning will be her salary plus her commission on the sales she does in the week.

Given that her sales for the said week are: $4300

Her commission will be:

`Commission = 6.5\%\ of\ sales\\ = 0.065*4300\\=\$279.5`

Now to calculate her total salary, we will add the weekly salary and commission.

`Total\ weekly\ Earning = Weekly\ Salary +\ Commission\\= \$400+\$279.5\\=\$679.5`

Mae Ling will make $679.5 in a week if she sells 4300 worth of merchandise.
