Answer 1

To calculate the total weekly earnings with a commission rate, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Total Earnings} = \text{Salary/Wages} + (\text{Weekly Sales Total} \times \text{Commission Rate})
\]

Given:
- Commission Rate = 2.2% (which needs to be converted to decimal form by dividing by 100)
- Salary/Wages = $1000
- Weekly Sales Total = $13,000

First, convert the commission rate to decimal:

\[
\text{Commission Rate} = \frac{2.2}{100} = 0.022
\]

Now, calculate the commission:

\[
\text{Commission} = \text{Weekly Sales Total} \times \text{Commission Rate}
\]
\[
\text{Commission} = 13000 \times 0.022 = 286
\]

Now, add the commission to the salary/wages:

\[
\text{Total Earnings} = 1000 + 286 = 1286
\]

So, the total weekly earnings would be **$1286**.
