find clarissa salary when she sells $1700 worth of merchandise.

Answer:
361.25
Step-by-step explanation:
first subtract her sales
900 - 500 equals 400
next subtract her earnings
489-405= 85
next divide the remainder of her earnings by the remainder of her sales
85/400=.2125
finally multiply this by 1700
0.21 to 5 * 1700 equals 361.25
