Question

Mike is a car salesman. He earns $200 for every car he sells plus a 3% commission. If Mike sells 3 cars in one week for a total of $32,343, what are his total earnings for a week?

Answer 1

Answer:

His total earnings for a week are $ 1,570.29

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question, first, we have to multiply the $200 he earns per car by the number of cars sold(3) .

200 x 3 = $600

Now, he earns a 3% commission of the sales amount. (3/100= 0.03 decimal form)

Since the sales amount is $32,343.

$32,343 x 0.03 = $970.29

Adding both earnings

970.29 + 600 = 1,570.29

His total earnings for a week are $ 1,570.29

Answer 2

For every car Mike earns------------------ >$200 plus 3% commission

 3 cars----------------- > $200*3+$32,343*0.03=600+970.29=$1570.29

 Total earnings for a week is $1570.29
