Answer 1

Commission 0.03×1,800=54
Total income 200+54=254

Answer 2

Answer: His total income for that week is $254.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Amount he earned per week working at a clothing store = $200

Rate of commission on all of his sales = 3%

His total sales = $1800

So, Amount earned from commission is given by

$\dfrac{3}{100}\times 1800\\\\=18\times 3\\\\=\ 54$

So, Total income for that week would be

$200+$54=$254.

Hence, his total income for that week is $254.
