Bryan earns $6.25 per hour plus 1.75% commission on all goods sold. One week he worked 37 hours and sold $6,500 worth of goods. What were his weekly earnings?
6500 * 0.0175 = 113.75
(6.25 * 37) + 113.75 = $_________
William earns 1.75% commission on all sales at the electrical goods store
where he works. If William earns $35 in commission on the sale of one
television, how much did the TV sell for?
To calculate Bryan's weekly earnings, we need to calculate two components: his base salary for 37 hours worked and his commission for the goods sold.
1. Calculate the base salary:
Base salary = Number of hours worked * Hourly rate
Base salary = 37 hours * $6.25/hour
Base salary = $231.25
2. Calculate the commission earned:
Commission = (Commission rate/100) * Total sales
Commission = (1.75/100) * $6,500
Commission = $113.75
3. Add the base salary and commission to get the weekly earnings:
Weekly earnings = Base salary + Commission
Weekly earnings = $231.25 + $113.75
Weekly earnings = $345
Therefore, Bryan's weekly earnings are $345.
To find Bryan's weekly earnings, we need to calculate his base pay for the hours he worked and his commission on the goods sold.
First, let's find his base pay:
Bryan earned $6.25 per hour, and he worked for 37 hours.
Base pay = $6.25/hour * 37 hours = $231.25
Next, let's calculate his commission:
Bryan earned a 1.75% commission on all goods sold. Since he sold $6,500 worth of goods, we can calculate his commission as follows:
Commission = 1.75/100 * $6,500 = $113.75
Finally, we can find his weekly earnings by adding his base pay and commission:
Weekly earnings = Base pay + Commission = $231.25 + $113.75 = $345
Therefore, Bryan's weekly earnings were $345.
