Studdy Solution

STEP 1

What is this asking? How much money did Heidi make from her sales, and how much did the store make from her sales? Watch out! Don't forget to convert the percentage to a decimal before multiplying!

STEP 2

1. Calculate Heidi's commission.
2. Calculate the store's earnings.

STEP 3

Alright, so Heidi earns a **4% commission**.
This means she gets 4% of whatever she sells.
Last week, she sold $720\$720 worth of jewelry.
To find her commission, we **multiply** her sales by her commission rate.

STEP 4

Remember, **4%** is the same as 4100\frac{4}{100}, which is the same as **0.04**.
So, we **multiply** $720\$720 by **0.04**.

STEP 5

$7200.04=$28.80\$720 \cdot 0.04 = \$28.80

STEP 6

So, Heidi earned $28.80\$28.80 in commission.
Awesome!

STEP 7

Now, let's figure out how much the store made from Heidi's sales.
The store gets the rest of the money after Heidi's commission.

STEP 8

We know Heidi's sales were $720\$720, and her commission was $28.80\$28.80.
To find the store's earnings, we **subtract** Heidi's commission from the total sales.

STEP 9

$720$28.80=$691.20\$720 - \$28.80 = \$691.20

STEP 10

So, the store made $691.20\$691.20 from Heidi's sales.
Fantastic!

STEP 11

Heidi earned $28.80\$28.80 in commission.
The jewelry store made $691.20\$691.20 from her sales.
