Question

Renee is a sales associate at a store. She earns $80 a week plus a 15% commission on her sales. Last week, she sold $200 worth of items. What is the total amount Renee earned for the week? How much did she earn from commission?

Answer 1

she sold $200 worth of items, and gets a 15% commission on that sale ---> calculate 15% of 200 ---> or as a decimal, (0.15)(200)

add this onto the 80 dollars she earns that week, to get the total
