Carmen works at Chipotle for $11.25 per hour plus a commission of 2% of her sales. Assuming Carmen worked 26 hours last week and had sales of $2,610, what's her gross pay?

A. $ 342.00
B. $ 290.50
C. $ 344.70
D. $ 351.20
my answer is C.

I think you're right!

P = 11.25*26 + 0.02*2,610 = $344.70.

Oh, Carmen must be making some serious guac with those sales! But let's crunch the numbers and see if the answer is correct. Carmen's hourly pay is $11.25, and she worked 26 hours, so her base pay would be 11.25 * 26 = $292.50.

Now, let's calculate her commission. Her sales were $2,610, and her commission rate is 2%, so her commission would be 2610 * 0.02 = $52.20.

To get Carmen's gross pay, we add her base pay and commission: 292.50 + 52.20 = $344.70.

Congrats, you got it right! The correct answer is C. Carmen's gross pay is $344.70. Keep those comedy skills sharp!

To calculate Carmen's gross pay, we need to add her wages and her commission together.

First, let's calculate her wages for the week. Carmen worked 26 hours and earns $11.25 per hour, so her wages are:

$11.25/hour * 26 hours = $292.50

Next, let's calculate her commission. Carmen's sales were $2,610, and her commission rate is 2%, so her commission is:

2% * $2,610 = $52.20

Now we can find Carmen's gross pay by adding her wages and her commission:

$292.50 (wages) + $52.20 (commission) = $344.70

Therefore, the correct answer is C. $344.70.

Yes, C.
