Math problem, calculating weekly gross pay

Question

Last week Sonia worked 35 hours. What was Sonia's weekly gross salary

if her total sales were $2040?

Answer 1

To determine Sonia's gross salary, we need to know her hourly rate. If we assume that she is paid a fixed hourly rate, we can divide her total sales by the number of hours she worked to find her hourly rate.

hourly rate = total sales / number of hours worked

hourly rate = $2040 / 35 hours = $58.29 per hour

Now that we know Sonia's hourly rate, we can calculate her gross salary for the week:

gross salary = hourly rate x number of hours worked

gross salary = $58.29 x 35 hours = $2040.15

Therefore, Sonia's gross salary for the week is $2040.15.
