Answer:
The total amount of money Bernadette earned in April was $6200
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
∵ Each month Bernadette receives $2000
∵ She also receives a 5% commission for all of her sales
∴ She earns each month = 2000 + 5% of her sales
∵ In April, Bernadette sold $84,000 worth of used cars
→ Multiply it by 5% to find her commission
∴ Her commission = 5% × 84,000
→ Change 5% to decimal by divide it by 100
∵ 5% = 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05
∴ Her commission = 0.05 × 84,000
∴ Her commission = $4200
→ Add her commission to her fixed amount to find her salary in April
∵ She earned in April = 2000 + 4200
∴ She earned in April = 6200
∴ The total amount of money Bernadette earned in April was $6200
