Ellen sells cosmetics and earns a weekly pay of $330 plus a commission of 12% on sales. How much did she earn last week if she sold $1,200 worth of cosmetics?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$474

Step-by-step explanation:

Ellen's pay is:

Fixed Weekly Salary (that is $330) + 12% commission on Sales

We already know her fixed salary part. Let's figure out her last week's commission and add it to her fixed salary to find her total pay.

12% is 12/100 = 0.12

To find 12% of 1200, we multiply 1200 with 0.12. We get:

[tex]1200*0.12=144[/tex]

So her commissions for last week is $144.

Total Pay Last Week = 330 + 144 = $474
