Question

Angela worked on a straight 12% commission. Her friend worked on a salary of $750 plus a 5% commission

Answer 1

Answer:

The Total earning of friend for same month is $1745 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The percentage commission for Angela = 12%

The percentage commission for friend = 5%

The fixed salary of friend = $750

So, Total earning of friend = $750 + 5% on total merchandise sold

Let The Total earning of friend for same month = $A

The total amount of merchandise sold = $19900

Now, According to question

The earning of friend for same month = fixed salary of friend + 5% on total merchandise sold

i.e A = $750 + 5% of total amount of merchandise sold

Or, A = $750 + $\dfrac{5}{100}$ × $19900

Or,  A = $750 + 5 × $199

Or,  A = $750 + $995

∴  A = $1745

So, The Total earning of friend for same month = A = $1745

Hence, The Total earning of friend for same month is $1745 . Answer
