Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Making $250/week in salary and 10% of the $975 in sales.

First find what 10% of $975 equals.  The decimal equivalent of 10% is 0.10

So multiply the decimal and total sales.

0.10 x 975 = 97.5

Her weekly salary plus the commission would be:

$250 + $97.50 = 347.50

If you don't know her sales for the week, you can use X to represent the sales.  The equation would be:

0.10x   +   250  =  y       where y is her total pay.
