Question

Tammy earns a base salary of $300 every week with an additional 9% commission on whatever she sells. What was Tammy's total pay for the week (in dollars) if she sold $3200 worth of products?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tammy's total pay for the week is $588

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Tammy's salary = $300 every week

Percentage of commission on sales = 9%

Total sale during week = $3200

Commission earned =

$9\% \times 3200\\\\=\dfrac{9}{100}\times 3200\\\\=\ 288$

Thus, Tammy's week salary =

Weekly salary + Commission on sales

=$=300 + 288\\=588$

Thus, Tammy's total pay for the week is $588 if she sold $3200 worth of products.
