Zymirah earns 5% commission on all sales at a jewelry store plus $10 an hour. Yesterday she sold $3,200 in merchandise and earned a total of $240. How many hours does she work?

Respuesta :

Answer:

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Commission= 5%

Sales= $3,200

Total earnings= $240

Let us find the amount in commission earned

=5/100*3,200

=0.05*3,200

=$160

Hence 240-160=$80

$80 is the amount earned yesterday

we are told that per hour is $10

Hence $80 will be earned for

=80/10

=8 hours
