Question 158234: I got this question incorrect, but I do not know what I did wrong.
Hamlet had $54,650 in sales for this week. If he is paid a 6% commission, what was he paid for the week if he received his commission and an additional $100?
My Work:
54,650(.06)= 3,279
54,650+3,279= 57,929+100=$58,029
Final Answer: $58,029

Hamlet is NOT paid all of the sales money :-)
He is only paid the commission (6%) and $100 which is
$54,650 * 6% + $100 = $3379.
