Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that a jewelry salesperson earns [tex]6\frac{2}{5}[/tex]% commission on all sales. Today she sold $5,570 in jewelry.

To find the total commission earned by salesperson is same as finding the [tex]6\frac{2}{5}[/tex]% of 5,570.  

Let us convert [tex]6\frac{2}{5}[/tex] in decimal form.  

[tex]6\frac{2}{5}=6.4[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=\frac{6.4}{100}\times 5,570[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=0.064\times 5,570[/tex]

[tex]\text{Total commission earned by salesperson}=356.48[/tex]

Therefore, the total commission earned by salesperson is $356.48.
