Question

Caitlin Grasso is a salesperson in the kitchen and bath department at Morris Supplies, Inc. She makes 5.5% straight commission on her total sales. What were her total week's sales, if her gross pay was $560?

Answer 1

10% of $560 is $56

So 5% is $28

1% of $560 is $5.60

So now half $5.60 is $2.80

$2.80 is 0.05%

Now add

$28 + $2.80 = $30.80

Total is $30.80
