Respuesta :

Answer:

Total Pay of Sandra for the week is $333.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Base salary of Sandra = $250

Commission for each haircuts = $1

Commission for 50 haircuts = money as commission for 50 haircuts.

We will use unitary method to find the same;

Amount of Money as commission for 50 haircuts  = [tex]\$1\times 50 = \$50[/tex]

Also Given:

Commission for each haircuts above 50 = $1.5

Number of Haircuts = 72 = 50 + 22

Hence there are 22 haircuts above 50

Amount of Money as commission for 22 haircuts  = [tex]\$1.5\times 22 = \$33[/tex]

We need to find the Total pay of Sandra for the week.

Total pay of Sandra = Base salary of Sandra + Amount of Money as commission for 50 haircuts + Amount of Money as commission for 22 haircuts

Total pay of Sandra = [tex]\$250+\$50+\$33 = \$333[/tex]

Hence Total Pay of Sandra for the week is $333.
