Answer: the commission received by the salesperson is $576.9225

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the auction price

At the dealership, a sales person sold the boat for 30% more than the auction price. It means that the amount for which he sold the boat is

x + (30/100 × x)

= x + 0.3x = 1.3x

If the dealer paid $10,000 for a boat at an auction, it means that

1.3x = 10000

x = 10000/1.3

x = 7692.31

The difference between the auction price and the dealer price is

10000 - 7692.31 =$2307.69

The sales person received a commission of 25% of the difference between the auction price and the dealer price. It means that the commission received by the salesperson is

25/100 × 2307.69 = $576.9225

Josiah kept track of how many songs of each genre were played in an hour from his MP3 player. The counts are displayed in the ta
german

Based on the number of songs in each genre that Josiah listened to, the statements about his solution that are true are:

  • He should have found the average of the number of rock songs by averaging 4 and 6 to get 5.
  • He did not multiply the numerator and denominator by the correct number to equal 1,500.
  • He should have multiplied the numerator and denominator by 75, not 30, because 20 times 75 = 1,500.

<h3>What did Josiah do wrong?</h3>

To find the average of the number of rock songs, he should have taken the average of rock songs he listened to which were 4 and 6:

= (4 + 6) / 2

= 5

Because he has a total of 1,500 songs on his player, he should have multiplied both the numerator and denominator by a number that would lead to 1,500 which is 75 and not 30.
