Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. She also earns a base salary of $675 per week. What were her sales last week if her total earnings for the week were $1,029.75?

her sales last week was $4300.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent her her sales in a week.

Danielle earns a 8.25% commission on everything she sells at the electronics store where she works. This means that the commission she gets if she makes sales of $x is 0.0825x

She also earns a base salary of $675 per week. The expression for the total earnings for a week in which she made sales of $x would be

0.0825x + 675

if her total earnings for last week were $1,029.75, it means that

0.0825x + 675 = 1029.75

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 1029.75 - 675

0.0825x = 354.75

x = 354.75/0.0825

x = $4300

14.3

step-by-step explanation:

add all the numbers together.

9 + 12 + 15 + 16 + 17 + 17 = 86

now, divide 86 by how many numbers we have: 6.

86 / 6 = 14.3

the answer is 21%.
