Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Cost = $413

Sales percent = 6.5%

Cost of bike = $413 + (6.5% × $413)

= $413 + (0.065 × $413)

= $413 + $26.845

= $439.85

2. Cost of dishwasher = $569

Commission rate = 18%

The expression for the commission will be:

= 18% × $569

= 18/100 × $569

= 0.18($569)
