Answer:
the amount of his paycheck was $316
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of his paycheck.
As per the statement:
Earl gets a commission of 20% on all sales. He sold $1,580.00 worth of goods.
⇒20% of $1580
or
[tex]x = 20\% \times 1580[/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{20}{100} \times 1580 = \frac{1}{5} \times 1580 = 316[/tex]
Therefore, the amount of his paycheck was $316
