Question

A salesperson receives a salary of $300 per week with a 6% commission on all sales how much does the sales person earn in a week with $2540 in sales show work

Answer 1

First, let's create an equation for this problem. Remeber, 6% = 0.06
(0.06 × $2,540) + $300 

Now, all you would need to do is solve it. You would start in the parenthesis, using the order of operations (PEMDAS). 
(0.06 × $2,540) + $300 
$152.4 + $300 = $452.4

The salesperson earned $452.5 in a week. 

Have a great day!

Answer 2

6% as a decimal is 0.06
2540 x 0.06= 152.40 in commission
300+152.40=$452.40 in total
