last year Stephanie was paid a base salary of $12,000/ year plus a commission of 3% on the total dollar value of her sales. She sold $1,120,000 worth of company products. How much did she make?

Ok, so to actually solve the question and get the right answer..

So the equation to solve this question would be- 12,000+ (1,120,000 x 0.03)

Acording to Grade 8 Math curriculum BEDMAS (brackets, exponets, dividing, multiplying, adding, then subtracting) you would do what was in the brackets first. The answer is 33,600.

So now your equation would be 12,000+ 33,600.

The answer is 45, 600.

Hope this helped!

thanks that really did help a lot

To calculate Stephanie's earnings, we'll need to consider her base salary and the commission she received.

Step 1: Calculate the commission
Stephanie's commission is 3% of the total dollar value of her sales. Multiply the sales amount by 3% to find her commission amount:
Commission = $1,120,000 * 3/100
Commission = $33,600

Step 2: Calculate her total earnings
To find Stephanie's total earnings, we need to add her base salary and commission together:
Total Earnings = Base Salary + Commission
Total Earnings = $12,000 + $33,600
Total Earnings = $45,600

Therefore, Stephanie made $45,600 last year.
