Paula sells cars on the weekend while she is attending college. In addition to her hourly wage of $5.50, she
earns a 2% commission on her total sales. Paula worked 10 hours and sold 3 cars at $15,000 each. How
much did Paula earn? Answer is $

$955.00

Step-by-step explanation

Amount earned = Total wages  + Commission

Where : 

Total wages earned = Hourly wages * Number of hours

                                    = $5.50 * 10

                                    = $55.00

Commission  = 2% of total sales

                        = 2% * [ 3 * $15,000 ]

                        = 2% * [ $45,000 ]

                        = $900.00

?Amount Earned = $55.00 + $900.00

                                       = $955.00

Thus, Paula earned $955.00
