Answer:

$163.99

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

First off, let's find the payment you get for working 17 hours.

  • 17 * 7.12
  • 121.04

You get paid $121.04 for 17 hours of work.

You also get a 5% commission on the number of sales that you made. You made $859, so you add 5% of that to $121.04.

  • 5% of 859 + 121.04
  • 0.05(859) + 121.04
  • 42.95 + 121.04
  • 163.99

You made $163.99.
