A) Commission made last week is $ 288
B) Commissions earned in a year,treating a year as having exactly 52 weeks is $ 14976
Solution:
From given,
Commission rate = 4 %
Last week,she sold $7,200 worth of stocks
A. ) How much commission did she make last week?
Therefore,
[tex]Commission\ amount = 4 \% of\ 7200\\\\Commission\ amount = 4 \% \times 7200\\\\Commission\ amount = \frac{4}{100} \times 7200\\\\Commission\ amount = 4 \times 72\\\\Commission\ amount = 288[/tex]
Thus commission made last week is $ 288
B)
Given that,
If she were to average that same commission each week
To find the commissions earned in a year, treating a year as having exactly 52 weeks
Therefore,
[tex]commissions\ earned\ in\ a\ year = 288 \times 52\\\\commissions\ earned\ in\ a\ year = 14976[/tex]
Thus commissions earned in a year,treating a year as having exactly 52 weeks is $ 14976
