Solution
To calculate how much Kelly's friend earned in that particular month, we need to add the fixed salary to the commission earned from the sales.
Step 1: Calculate the commission from the sales. The commission rate is 6%, so we multiply $25,800 by 6% (or 0.06 in decimal form).
1,548
Step 2: Add the fixed salary to the commission. The fixed salary is $650, so we add this to the commission.
650 = $2,198
So, Kelly's friend earned $2,198 in that particular month.
