Question

paige works at a deployment store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. her sales for the quarter were $4596. if she earns $50 per day and she worked 30 days in the quarter, what is the total amount she earned

Answer 1

Solution-

∵ she earns $50 per day and she worked 30 days in the quarter.

∴ Her total earning for this period = $(50×30) = $1500.

Also she earns 3% commission for her sales.

∴ Her total earning by commission =3% of $4596= $ (3×4596)/100

                                                           = $ 137.88

∴Total amount earned by Paige= $137.88+$1500

                                                     =$ 1637.88
