To calculate Morena's earnings, we need to calculate her base pay and her commission:
Base pay: 6 hours * $10 per hour = $60
Commission: 30% of $250 = 0.3 * $250 = $75
Total earnings for Morena: $60 (base pay) + $75 (commission) = $135
Luca's earnings: 6 hours * $17 per hour = $102
Therefore, Morena earned $135 and Luca earned $102 on Friday. Morena earned $33 more than Luca on Friday.
PROBLEM #3: Luca and Morena both work at the local bakery.
→ Morena worked for 6 hours and makes $10 per hour on Friday. She also earns 30% commission on the amount of sales she makes. For the Friday that she worked, she was responsible for $250 dollars of sales.
→ Luca also worked for 6 hours on Friday. Luca gets paid $17 per hour.
