You make a salary of $175 a month and earn a 5% commission on your total sales. If your total sales this month were $4,500, what is the total that you will be paid?

$400

Step-by-step explanation:

You first need to find how much you make on your commissions. As you earn 5% on your total sales, you would multiply the total sales by the percentage;

$4,500 x 5% = $225

This is how much you earn in commissions for the month. To find the total you are paid, add this amount to your salary;

$225 + $175 = $400

i believe the correct answer is b.
