Elizabeth works as a salesperson and earns a base salary of $78 per week plus a commission of 20% of all her sales. If Elizabeth had $95 in weekly sales, how much did she make?
(0.2 * 95) + 78 = $_________
To calculate how much Elizabeth made, you'll need to combine her base salary with her commission.
First, let's calculate her commission. Multiply her sales by 20% (or 0.20) to find the amount of commission she earned: 95 * 0.20 = $19.
Next, add her base salary to her commission: $78 + $19 = $97.
Therefore, Elizabeth earned $97 in total.
