Question

Francois earns weekly salary of $475 plus 5.5 % commission .hoe much would she earn in a week if he sold $700 in goods ? Round to nearest cent

Answer 1

From the given question we already know that Francois earns a weekly salary of $475 and also a commission of 5.5% on the total amount of goods sold in the week. Francois sold goods worth a total of $700 in the week.
Now we have to calculate first the amount of commission earned from the sales of goods.
Commission earned = (700 * 5.5/100) dollars
                                  = 38.5 dollars.
So francois earns 38 dollars and 50 cents as commission for the goods sold during the week.
Total earning of Francois in the week = (475 + 38.5) dollars
                                                            = 513.5 dollars
So the total earning of Francois during the week is 513 dollars and 50 cents.
