Given:
Francis earns a weekly salary of $475 plus a 5.5% commission on sales at a girt shop.
To find:
How much would he earn in a week if he sold $700 in goods?
Solution:
We have,
Fixed weekly salary = $475
Commission percentage = 5.5% on sales.
Total sales of goods = $700
Total commission = 5.5% of 700
[tex]=\dfrac{5.5}{100}\times 700[/tex]
[tex]=5.5\times 7[/tex]
[tex]=38.5[/tex]
Now,
Total weekly salary = Fixed weekly salary + Commission
[tex]=475+38.5[/tex]
[tex]=513.5[/tex]
Therefore, the total weekly salary is $513.5.
