Answer 5

Okay you have to perform two different math equations here.
First, you have to know how much he earns just by showing up to work:
8.25 x 38.5
Because it shows how much he earns per hour, and how many hours he works per week.

Answer 6

Second, you have to find how much he earns from the commission.
In this case, he is going to earn 3% of 4520 dollars:
So, the second equation would be 4520 x 0.03

Answer 7

$317.625

Answer 8

Lastly, you must add these two results.
So:
8.25 x 38.5 + 4520 x 0.03 = ?

Answer 9

And that will give your answer

Answer 10

$453.225 ?

Answer 11

Okay, so 8.25 x 38.5 was 317.625, right?
4520 x 0.03 = 135.6
what is 317.625+ 135.6?

Answer 12

Yes
You got the answer

Answer 13
