A. Because Belle worked for 35hrs and she earns $12 per hour, which makes $420. Then Belle sold 2550 in cosmetics and 5% in decimals equals 0.05. Multiply 2550 by 0.05 and you get $127.50, that is the 5% commission for the 2550 Belle sold. Lastly add the $420 and $127.50 and you get $547.50 which is answer A.

the correct answer is A $547.50

12•35= 420 which is how much she was paid for working 35 hours
next we need to find how much she makes from commission
to do this we need to multiply $2,550 by 5%
2550•.05= 127.50

to find her total earnings we need to add the two answers together
$420+$127.50 =$547.50
