Answer 1

.

We were given,

Hourly pay = $10.00

Commision = 3%

Total sals = $3,000

Total time = 40 hours for two weeks = 80hours

$\begin{gathered} Commission=\frac{3}{100}\times3,000 \\ Commission=90 \end{gathered}$

Total commission = $90

Also;

$\begin{gathered} Amout\text{ }paid=80\times10 \\ Amount\text{ }paid=800 \end{gathered}$

Amount recieved for from working = $800

Paycheck = $90 + $800

Paycheck = $890

Therefore, The paycheck recieved after two weeks = $890
