Answer 1

Isabelle made $51,000 last year. Randall made $20,000 plus 33% commission on $90,000 in sales. Who had a higher income last year? Explain.

Answer 2

You're comparing the incomes of two separate people.

The first person, Isabelle, made $51,000. That's it.

The second person, Randall, was paid by his employer a salary of only $20,000. However, he earned a 33% commission on his $90,000 in sales.

What is 33% of $90,000?

Answer 3

Or, almost equivalently, calculate one third of $90,000.

Answer 4

29,700?

Approx.

Now, Plezase add $20,000 and your $29,700. what do you get?

Answer 6

Answer 7

49700 is what you get when you add them.
