\[\$400.00\] every week with an additional
\[5\%\] commission on everything she sells. Vanessa sold
\[\$1650.00\] worth of items last week.
What was Vanessa's total pay last week?
\[\$\ \]

Answer 1

Commission = 5% of \$1650 = 0.05 × 1650 = \$82.50.
Total pay = \$400 + \$82.50 = \$482.50.

\$482.50
