Question

- Ben sells appliances in a large department store. He makes a weekly salary plus 3% on sales. One
week he sold $3200 worth of appliances and received a total of $471 for the week. How much was
his regular weekly salary?

Answer 1

Answer:

• $375

Step-by-step explanation:

Find 3% of $3200:

• 3200*3/100 = 96

Subtract the commission part from the total salary:

• 471 - 96 = 375

Answer 2

Commision:-

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 3/100\times 3200$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 32(3)$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow 96$

Weekly salary= 471-96=375$
