To solve this problem, let's break it down into two parts: Haley's base salary and her commission for that week.

1. **Base Salary**: 
   - Haley earns a fixed base salary of $95.81 per week.

2. **Commission**: 
   - Haley also earns a commission of 1% on her sales. 
   - Her sales for the week were $97.44, so we need to calculate 1% of $97.44.
   
   \[
   \text{Commission} = 0.01 \times 97.44 = 0.9744
   \]
   - Rounding to the nearest cent, her commission is $0.97.

3. **Total Pay**:
   - Now, add her base salary and commission to get the total pay:
   
   \[
   \text{Total Pay} = 95.81 + 0.97 = 96.78
   \]

So, Haley's total pay for that week was **$96.78**.

1. What would Haley’s pay be if her weekly sales were $200?
2. How much would her pay be with a 2% commission rate on the same sales amount?
3. If her base salary increased by 10%, what would her new weekly pay be with the same sales?
4. How much would Haley make in a month (4 weeks) with no sales, just her base salary?
5. What sales amount would she need to earn a total of $100 for the week?

**Tip:** When calculating percentages, remember that 1% of a number is the same as dividing it by 100.

Haley works in a store in Campbell where she earns a base salary of $95.81 per week plus a commission of 1% of sales. If Haley sold $97.44 worth of merchandise during the first week of the month, what was her total pay that week?
