The total amount of money Ethan made in a week including commission is $812.5

Total income

  • Total sales for the week = $1250
  • Base salary = $500
  • Percentage commission = 25%

Amount of commission earned = 25% of $1250

= 25/100 × $1,250

= 0.25 × 1250

= $312.5

Total earnings = Base salary + Amount of commission earned

= $500 + $312.5

= $812.5
