Answer:

<u>John's commission percentage on new cars is x and his commission percentage on used cars is 1.5x, therefore, John's commission percentage on new cars is 2% and his commission percentage on used cars is 3%.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

John's commission percentage on new cars = x

John's commission percentage on used cars = x + 50%x (His commission on used cars is 50% more  than on new cars)

Sales on new cars = $80,000

Sales on used cars = $50,000

John's commission check = $3,100

2. If x represents the commission percentage on new cars, express the commission percentage  on used cars in terms of x.

John's commission percentage on new cars = x

John's commission percentage on used cars = x + 50%x = 1.5x

Now we can solve for x, this way:

80,000x + 50,000 * 1.5x = 3,100

80,000x + 75,000x = 3,100

155,000x = 3,100

x = 3,100/155,000

x = 0.02 = 2% ⇒ 1.5x = 3%

<u>John's commission percentage on new cars is 2% and his commission percentage on used cars is 3%</u>

If you have 30$ and you need to find 8%, and add to 30$ then find 15% of that, and what’s your total?
stira [4]

Answer:

Our total amount value is $4.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount given is $30.

Now  8 % of $30 = \frac{8}{100}  \times 30 = 2.4

or, 8% of $30  = $2.4

Now adding $30 and $2.4,

$ 30 + $2.4  = $32.4

Finding 15% of the total $32.4,

we get  \frac{15}{100} \times 32.4 = 4.86

or, 15% of $32.4   = $4.86

hence, our total amount value is $4.86.
