Because if X is ten then the equation is complete
The history museum is less that 9 4/5 miles. 9/10 means that the 9 3/4 mile is broken up into 10 equal parts and the distance to the museum is only 9 of those parts. 9 3/4 (9.8) divided by 10 equals 98/100 (.98)
98/100 x 9 = 882/100 or 8.82
Justin's house is 8.82 miles from the museum.
The total amount of his commission for these vehicles is $ 1686
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that,
Miles earns a 6% commission on each vehicle he sells
Therefore,
Commission rate = 6 %
Today he sold a truck for $18,500 and a car for $9,600
Therefore,
Commission amount = 6 % of (18500 + 9600)
Commission amount = 6 % of 28100
Calculate the above equation

Thus the total amount of his commission for these vehicles is $ 1686
