Paige works at a department store and has a commission rate of 3 percent. Her sales for the quarter were $4,596. If she earns $50 per day and she worked 30 days in the quarter, what is the total amount she earned?

Respuesta :

Answer: [tex]\$1637.88[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Paige earns [tex]\$50\ \text{per day}[/tex]

She worked [tex]30\ \text{days in a quarter}[/tex]

Quarter sale[tex]=\$4596[/tex]

If Paige gets [tex]3\ \% \ \text{commission of her sales}[/tex]

Then the commission she gets in a quarter is [tex]0.03\times 4596[/tex]

So the amount she earns

[tex]=30\ \text{days work+ commission}[/tex]

[tex]=30\times 50+0.03\times 4596[/tex]

[tex]=1500+137.88[/tex]

[tex]=\$1637.88[/tex]
