Answer 1

Answer:

320 + 198.75= 518.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Travel pays its employees $16 per hour

20hours * $16 per hour= $320

plus 7.5% of $2650 = $198.75

$198.75+$320= $518.75

Answer 2

Answer:

$518.75

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you take 20×16 because she worked 20 hours and earns $16 per hour.

20×16=$320.

Next, we figure how much she earned for her commission. %7.5 as a decimal is .075.

So you take .075×2650, which equals $198.75.

Finally, you take 198.75+320, giving you an answer of $518.75.
