bailey works at an athletic store. He earns 90$ per day plus an 11% commission on his sides. On Thursday, Bailey has $500 in sales

Question

How much money does Bailey earn on Thursday, including his commission

Answer 1

To calculate Bailey's earnings on Thursday, we need to add his daily wage to his commission from sales.

1. Daily Wage: $90
2. Sales Amount: $500
3. Commission Rate: 11% (or 0.11)

First, calculate the commission from the sales:

\[ \text{Commission} = \text{Sales} \times \text{Commission Rate} = 500 \times 0.11 = 55 \]

Now, add the commission to his daily wage:

\[ \text{Total Earnings} = \text{Daily Wage} + \text{Commission} = 90 + 55 = 145 \]

So, Bailey earns $145 on Thursday, including his commission.
