Answer:

Total Commission = $400

Step-by-step explanation:

Since total is $9000 (in sales) -- commision is 4% on the first $8000 and 8% in the additional part over $8000 (9000-8000=1000). So 8% on $1000.

<u>Total commission</u> = 4% of 8000 + 8% of 1000

= (0.04)(8000) + (0.08)(1000)

= 400

Total Commission is $400

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The commission is $400.

<h2>Step-by-step explanation:</h2>

A car dealership pays you 4% commission on your first $8,000 in car sales.

The commission becomes:

$0.04\times8000=320$ dollars

Also given is that 8% commission is on additional sales over the $8,000. If you made $9,000, this means you made $1,000 over $8,000.

So, it will be 8% on $1000.

This value becomes:

$0.08\times1000=80$ dollars.

So, total commission on sales of $9000 is = $320+80=400$ dollars.

Therefore, the answer is $400.
