Answer 1

Part A: All you do is multiply the sales by the commission percentage. 0.05 is 5% in decimal form.

2400x0.05=$120

She earned $120 in commission this month.

Part B:To find her total months pay, you must add 600 and her commission together.

8500x0.05=$425
$425+$600=$1025

Her total months pay was $1025.
