Bryan works in a men's clothing store. He earns a base salary of $350 per week plus his commission is 5% on all sales. If Bryan's sales in one week total is $4000, what will his gross earnings be for that week?
Bryan's gross earnings = base salary + commission of 5% on all sales.
Bryan's gross earnings = 350 + 5% of 4000.
Bryan's gross earnings = 350 + 5% × 4000.
Bryan's gross earnings = 350 + 5/100 × 4000.
Bryan's gross earnings = 350 + 5/100 × 4000/1
Bryan's gross earnings = 350 + (5 × 4000)/(100 × 1)
Bryan's gross earnings = 350 + 20000/100
Bryan's gross earnings = 350 + 200
Bryan's gross earnings = 550
