Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is $6216.66

Step-by-step explanation:

(8*40)+6%*×=$692; 320 + 0.6x = 692; .6×=692-320; 0.6x=373; ×=373÷.6;

x=6216.66

Answer 2

• The total amount of the salesperson's sales for the week is $6,200

Total earnings= $692

Total hours worked = 40 hours

Earnings per hour = $8

Total hourly earnings = Total hours worked × Earnings per hour

= 40 hours × $8

= $320

Commission earnings = Total earnings - Total hourly earnings

= $692 - $320

= $372

Total amount of her sales for the week = x

6% of x = $372

0.06 × x = 372

0.06x = 372

x = 372 / 0.06

x = $6,200

Therefore, her total amount of her sales for the week is $6,200
