Luke receives a salary of $200 per week plus a 3% commission on all sales. Last week he sold $2,100 in merchandise. How much did he make that week?
200 + (0.03 * 2,100) = ________
To find out how much Luke made that week, we need to calculate his commission on the sales and add it to his base salary.
Step 1: Calculate the commission on sales
Commission = 3% of $2,100
Commission = (3/100) * $2,100
Commission = $63
Step 2: Calculate Luke's total earnings
Total earnings = Salary + Commission
Total earnings = $200 + $63
Total earnings = $263
Therefore, Luke made $263 that week.
To calculate Luke's earnings for the week, we need to add his base salary of $200 to the commission he earned from sales.
First, we need to find out how much he made from the commission. The commission is calculated as a percentage of the total sales, which in this case is $2,100. To find this amount, we multiply $2,100 by 3% (0.03):
Commission = $2,100 * 0.03 = $63
Next, we add the base salary and commission together to find Luke's total earnings:
Total earnings = Base salary + Commission = $200 + $63 = $263
Therefore, Luke made $263 that week.
