Anjalina earns 5% commission on all electronics she sells at electric world .on Monday she sold a television for $1130 and DVD that cost $325 .what was the total she earned in commission
Somebody help
0.05 * (1130 + 325) = $__________
To calculate the total commission earned by Anjalina, we need to determine the commission amount for each item sold and then add them together.
Let's start by calculating the commission for the television. Anjalina earns a 5% commission on the sale price, so we can find the commission amount by multiplying the sale price by the commission rate:
Commission for television = Sale price of television * Commission rate
= $1130 * 5% (or 0.05)
Now, let's calculate the commission for the DVD. Similar to the television, Anjalina earns a 5% commission on the sale price:
Commission for DVD = Sale price of DVD * Commission rate
= $325 * 5% (or 0.05)
Finally, we can calculate the total commission earned by adding the commission amounts for both items:
Total commission = Commission for television + Commission for DVD
Now you can substitute the values into the equations and calculate:
Commission for television = $1130 * 0.05 = $56.50
Commission for DVD = $325 * 0.05 = $16.25
Total commission = $56.50 + $16.25 = $72.75
Therefore, Anjalina earned a total commission of $72.75.
