Let
x= total cost of cars
y= total commission paid out for all cars sold
6%= 6/100 = .06
Set up an equation:
y= .06(x)
Given: x= $125,650
substitute into the y= .06(x)
multiply $125,650 by .06.
The answers would be: 7539
hope this helped :)
If you would like to calculate 1/10 of what number is 0.04, you can do this using the following steps:
1/10 of what number is 0.04
1/10 * x = 0.04 /*10
x = 0.04 * 10
x = 0.4
Result: 1/10 of 0.4 is 0.04.
The answer is : (3x-1)(x+4)
Think of this situation as a system of equations.
let y be the price of hotdogs
let x be the price of hamburgers
5y + 2x = 8
2y + 5x = 9.50
now use your solution method of choice
substitution, elimination, matrices, etc
I think it’s y = 10x + 10
