Answer 1

Mackenzie's total earnings when sales is $1700 dollars is $860

The total amount Mackenzie earns in a week is the sum of her base salary and the commission she earns

• Her base salary is $350
• Commission she earns is 30% of total sales. This can be expressed using this equation : 0.3 x s. sales is represented with s .

Mackenzie weekly salary = base salary + commission

$350 + 0.3s

Total weekly earnings when sale is $1700 is :

$350 + 0.3(1700)

$350 + $510

= $860

Total earning is the sum of base pay and the commission she earned. Commission she earned is percentage commission multiplied by total sales
