Question

Christina Crinckle earns $290.25 per week plus 4% commission on al sales. If Christina averaged sales of $11,500 for the week, what was her total pay for the month, assuming a four-week month?

Answer 1

Take $290.25 x .04

.04 is the converted rate to decimal from percent (4/100)

 

That's the commission earned from $290.25 in sales, from ONE WEEK.

Take the commission earned and multiply it by 4 (since there are four weeks in a month).

 

There's your answer.
