Solution

To calculate Barbara's earnings for the month, we need to apply the 7% commission rate to the total amount of merchandise she sold.

Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Convert the commission rate from a percentage to a decimal. To do this, divide the percentage by 100. So, 7% becomes 0.07.

Step 2: Multiply the total amount of merchandise sold by the commission rate. So, 18,9000.07=18,900 * 0.07 = 1,323.

So, Barbara earned $1,323 for the month.
