3/4
Correct Answer
C. 9/16Explanation

Then, we add ½ to 3/16. To add these fractions, we need a common denominator, which is 16. ½ is equivalent to 8/16. Adding 8/16 and 3/16 gives us 11/16. Therefore, the correct answer is 11/16.Rate this question:

Tanisha Campbell's total commission can be calculated by finding the commission earned on each tier of sales and adding them together.
For the first $25,000.00, she earns a 2 percent commission, which is $500.00.
For the next $25,000.00, she earns a 4 percent commission, which is $1,000.00.
For the remaining $68,000.00 ($118,000.00 - $25,000.00 - $25,000.00), she earns an 8 percent commission, which is $5,440.00.
Adding all of these commissions together, her total commission is $500.00 + $1,000.00 + $5,440.00 = $6,940.00.
