First, let's calculate Mary's regular earnings for the week:
Regular earnings = $5.50/hour * 40 hours = $220
Next, let's calculate Mary's overtime earnings for the week:
Overtime earnings = ($5.50 * 1.5) * 7 hours = $57.75
Now, let's calculate Mary's commission earnings for the week:
Commission earnings = 4% * $3,500 = $140
Finally, let's add up Mary's regular earnings, overtime earnings, and commission earnings for the week:
Total earnings = $220 + $57.75 + $140 = $417.75
Therefore, Mary earned $417.75 in total for the week she worked 47 hours and sold $3,500 worth of goods.
Mary earns $5.50 per hour, time-and-a-half for overtime, and 4%
commission on gross sales. What were her earnings the week she
