So lets do what we know.

7. help123please.

Salary : 15*40*25 = 3,000 Commission : $\frac{ 375 }{ 15000} = \frac{ 25 }{ 100}$

8. KonradZuse

15000 per month on sales. 25% of that.

9. help123please.

375

10. help123please.

I typed what I did.

11. KonradZuse

"She makes 15 dollars an hour and works for 40 dollars per week. " Is that supposed to say 40 hours per week? 40$per week is like 2.70 hours :P 12. help123please. 40 hours,yes,sorry 13. help123please. yep. 14. KonradZuse so we do$15 per hour * 40 hours per week * 4 weeks.

15. help123please.

wait..can u check what i did

16. KonradZuse

then we need her 25% of her sales. What you did above isn't correct.

17. help123please.

Oh.

18. KonradZuse

not too sure what you were trying to show honestly.

19. KonradZuse

Maybe some math trick or something :p but it's not 15 * 40 * 25.

20. help123please.

Can u type what ur doing so i understand it better?

21. KonradZuse

She gets 25% of her sales, her sales total are 15,000. She then additionally gets 15$an hour, for 40 hours per week, at 4 weeks a month. 22. help123please. Ok.let me try to work it out 23. KonradZuse Comissions and pay are COMPLETELY different. 24. help123please. Yes. 25. KonradZuse so a hint is that you only do it based on their sales. 26. help123please. ok 27. KonradZuse You could sell 0$ worth of insurance, and still get your 15 * 40 * 4.

28. help123please.

ok.

29. help123please.

could u work it out so i can understand it?

30. KonradZuse

I gave you everything you need, what are you needing help with!?

31. help123please.

What would the answer be,then?

32. KonradZuse

What do you think it is?

33. help123please.

Do you add them both together?

34. help123please.

25 percent of 15000 is 375.

35. KonradZuse

you get the commisions, you get the monthly pay. and add them.

36. help123please.

at least i got that right,no?

37. KonradZuse

nope.

38. help123please.

OH.

39. KonradZuse

almost.

40. help123please.

15*40*4

41. help123please.

2400?

42. KonradZuse

yup.

43. saifoo.khan

Everyone should fan @KonradZuse !!

44. KonradZuse

hehe :p

45. help123please.

dONE.

46. KonradZuse

:p

47. help123please.

so, 2400 plus

48. KonradZuse

So wee have 2,400 + (15,000 * 0.25)???

49. help123please.

2400 is salary

50. help123please.

ok. lemme calculate

51. help123please.

6.15 I got

52. KonradZuse

:O?

53. help123please.

I used a calculator

54. help123please.

Hmm. Let me try again,

55. KonradZuse

that's a bit off....

56. KonradZuse

as in 6.15k or 6.15?

57. KonradZuse

What is 15,000 * 0.25?

58. help123please.

Just 6.15.

59. help123please.

2.4 + 15 × 0.25 = 123 20 = 6.15

60. KonradZuse

and we are using 2400 and 15000

61. help123please.

Will you give me the answer and re explain? please?

62. help123please.

for some reason I'm not getting it.

63. KonradZuse

you need to use the correct values....

64. KonradZuse

6.15 is correct for that, the answer itself is 6,150....

65. help123please.

I'm sorry, it might be annoying, ;/

66. KonradZuse

using 2.4, and 15 isn't going to work...

67. KonradZuse

you would also need 0.0025

68. KonradZuse

or 0.00025....

69. KonradZuse

I see what you did, but you cannot chop 0's off of only 2 of the 3.

70. help123please.

Type the equation please.

71. KonradZuse

again 2,400 + (15,000 * 0.25)

72. help123please.

i think i know what i did wrong

73. help123please.

See, I saw on wiki answers that march was 5 wks long

74. KonradZuse

maybe it is 5 weeks? A normal week is 4. That 5 has nothing to do with what you did wrong.... Look at what you posted, and what I posted...

75. help123please.

OK.

76. help123please.

Let me see...

77. help123please.

First, the salary.

78. help123please.

She gets 15 dollars an hour normally.

79. help123please.

She works 40 hours.

80. help123please.

15 x 40

81. help123please.

600

82. help123please.

600 x 4 = 2400

83. help123please.

25 percent of 15000 is

84. help123please.

3750

85. help123please.

2400+3750?

86. help123please.

6150 total?

87. help123please.
