Answer 6

So lets do what we know.

Answer 7

Salary : 15*40*25 = 3,000
Commission : \[\frac{ 375 }{ 15000} = \frac{ 25 }{ 100}\]

Answer 8

15000 per month on sales. 25% of that.

Answer 9

375

Answer 10

I typed what I did.

Answer 11

"She makes 15 dollars an hour and works for 40 dollars per week. "

Is that supposed to say 40 hours per week? 40$ per week is like 2.70 hours :P

Answer 12

40 hours,yes,sorry

Answer 13

yep.

Answer 14

so we do $15 per hour * 40 hours per week * 4 weeks.

Answer 15

wait..can u check what i did

Answer 16

then we need her 25% of her sales. What you did above isn't correct.

Answer 17

Oh.

Answer 18

not too sure what you were trying to show honestly.

Answer 19

Maybe some math trick or something :p but it's not 15 * 40 * 25.

Answer 20

Can u type what ur doing so i understand it better?

Answer 21

She gets 25% of her sales, her sales total are 15,000.

She then additionally gets 15$ an hour, for 40 hours per week, at 4 weeks a month.

Answer 22

Ok.let me try to work it out

Answer 23

Comissions and pay are COMPLETELY different.

Answer 24

Yes.

Answer 25

so a hint is that you only do it based on their sales.

Answer 26

ok

Answer 27

You could sell 0$ worth of insurance, and still get your 15 * 40 * 4.

Answer 28

ok.

Answer 29

could u work it out so i can understand it?

Answer 30

I gave you everything you need, what are you needing help with!?

Answer 31

What would the answer be,then?

Answer 32

What do you think it is?

Answer 33

Do you add them both together?

Answer 34

25 percent of 15000 is 375.

Answer 35

you get the commisions, you get the monthly pay. and add them.

Answer 36

at least i got that right,no?

Answer 37

nope.

Answer 38

OH.

Answer 39

Answer 40

15*40*4

Answer 41

Answer 48

Answer 49

Answer 50

Answer 51

6.15 I got

Answer 52

:O?

Answer 53

I used a calculator

Answer 54

Hmm. Let me try again,

Answer 55

that's a bit off....

Answer 56

as in 6.15k or 6.15?

Answer 57

What is 15,000 * 0.25?

Answer 58

Just 6.15.

Answer 59

2.4 + 15 × 0.25 = 123 20 = 6.15

Answer 60

and we are using 2400 and 15000

Answer 61

Will you give me the answer and re explain? please?

Answer 62

for some reason I'm not getting it.

Answer 63

you need to use the correct values....

Answer 64

6.15 is correct for that, the answer itself is 6,150....

Answer 65

I'm sorry, it might be annoying, ;/

Answer 66

using 2.4, and 15 isn't going to work...

Answer 67

you would also need 0.0025

Answer 68

or 0.00025....

Answer 69

I see what you did, but you cannot chop 0's off of only 2 of the 3.

Answer 70

Type the equation please.

Answer 71

again 2,400 + (15,000 * 0.25)

Answer 72

i think i know what i did wrong

Answer 73

See, I saw on wiki answers that march was 5 wks long

Answer 74

maybe it is 5 weeks? A normal week is 4. That 5 has nothing to do with what you did wrong.... Look at what you posted, and what I posted...
