Jede's sister works in a furniture store. 14. Jada's sister earns \( \$ 15 \) per hour. She gets \( 9 \% \) raise. After the raise, how much will Jada's sister make per hour? 15. Jada's sister earns a commission that is \( 3.5 \% \) of the amount she sells. Last week, she sold \( \$ 7,000 \) worth of furniture. How much was her commission?

Sure, let's solve both problems step by step. --- ### **Problem 14** **Jada's sister earns \$15 per hour. She gets a 9% raise. After the raise, how much will Jada's sister make per hour?** **Step 1: Calculate the Raise Amount** To find the amount of the raise: \[ \text{Raise} = \text{Current Hourly Wage} \times \left( \frac{\text{Percentage Raise}}{100} \right) \] \[ \text{Raise} = \$15 \times \left( \frac{9}{100} \right) = \$15 \times 0.09 = \$1.35 \] **Step 2: Calculate the New Hourly Wage** Add the raise to the current hourly wage: \[ \text{New Hourly Wage} = \text{Current Hourly Wage} + \text{Raise} \] \[ \text{New Hourly Wage} = \$15 + \$1.35 = \$16.35 \] **Answer:** After the 9% raise, Jada's sister will make **\$16.35 per hour**. --- ### **Problem 15** **Jada's sister earns a commission that is 3.5% of the amount she sells. Last week, she sold \$7,000 worth of furniture. How much was her commission?** **Step 1: Calculate the Commission** \[ \text{Commission} = \text{Total Sales} \times \left( \frac{\text{Commission Rate}}{100} \right) \] \[ \text{Commission} = \$7,000 \times \left( \frac{3.5}{100} \right) = \$7,000 \times 0.035 = \$245 \] **Answer:** Her commission for last week was **\$245**. --- If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
