Question

Mrs. Brown is a social worker with a salary of $26000 per year. She also works 10 hours per week part-time on weekends at a retail store in the mall an hourly rate of $7.50 and a commission of 10% of sales. Her yearly sales were $25,000. What is her total combined income?

Answer 1

25000 x 10% = $2500 in sales commission.


She works 10 hours per week at 7.5 an hour (and we assume she works every weekend for a total of 52 weekends).  That gives her $75 x 52 = $3900 in wages earned.


She makes $6400 in her part time gig and $26000 in her full time gig for a total of $32400 combined annual income.
