$3246.38
$1380.96
$5754
$7234.98

Answer 1

Answer:

$5754

Explanation:

Jason earns a 12% commission on total sales.

If he earned $690.48 last week, it means that 690.48 was equivalent to 12% of total sales.

i.e., 690.48 = 12% of total sales

Total sales = 100%

If 12% = 690.48

100% =690.48/12 x 100

=57.54 x 100

=$ 5,754
