What was Vanessa's total pay last week?
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
she will always get 400 dollars regardless of how much she sells
but this time she sold 1650 pounds worth of items. And she gets 5 percent of the of items she sold added to her base salary
So you increase her base salary by 5 percent of 1650 (how much she sold.)
so if we first find out find out 10 percent-by doing 1650/10- we will get 10 percent which is 165.
so ten percent is 165, to get 5 percent we divide it by 2. 165/2 = 82.5
so now 5 percent is equal to 82.50.
and we add it to her base salary, which is 400+82.5=482.5.
she recieved 482.50 dollars.
in essence we found ten percent (as it was really easy, just divide it by 10) then we dicvided by 2 to finfd 5 percent, then added 5 percent to her base salary

Answer:
$482.50
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the amount of commission made by using the following formula:
commission rate \times×times total sales ==equals amount of commission made
Since the commission rate is a percentage, we have to convert it into a decimal first. Percent means "out of one hundred," so 5\%5%5, percent is equivalent to \dfrac{5}{100}
100
5
start fraction, 5, divided by, 100, end fraction which is also equal to 5 \div 1005÷1005, divided by, 100.
div 100 = 0.055÷100=0.055, divided by, 100, equals, 0, point, 05
Now you have all the information you need to find the amount of commission made:
0.050.050, point, 05 \times×times \$1650.00$1650.00dollar sign, 1650, point, 00 ==equals \$82.50$82.50dollar sign, 82, point, 50
We can find the total salary for Vanessa by adding the amount of commission made to her base salary.
amount of commission made ++plus base salary ==equals total salary
$82.50$82.50, 82, 50$400.00$400.00dollar sign, 400, point, 00 ==equals \$482.50$482.50
