Answer 1

Hello! So a 9% commission is earned on the amount of beauty supplies sold. To find out the amount of commission earned, all you have to do is multiply $895 by 9%. 895 * 9% (0.09) is 80.55. $80.55 is earned in commission, Now, add 450 to that amount. 80.55 + 450 is 530.55. There. Danielle earned a total of $530.55 this week.
