Kayla earns a weekly salary of $290 plus a 5.5% commission on sales at a gift shop. How much would she make in a week if she sold $5799 worth of merchandise?

How do I set up this problem?

$290 + 5.5% ⋅ $5799 = $290 + 0.055 ⋅ $5799 ≈ $608.95

Kayla's total earnings for the week would be approximately $609.45, combining her salary and commission. This is calculated by adding her weekly salary of $290 to her commission from $5799 in sales. The commission is derived from multiplying the sales amount by her commission rate of 5.5%.
