Question

Write a function that relates the commission earned by a salesperson, C(p), to the profit earned on the car, p. The salespeople at a local car dealership are paid a commission based on the profit earned from each car they sell. If the profit is less than $900, the salesperson gets 15% of the profit as commission. If the profit on the car is equal to or between $900 and $1,500, the salesperson gets 17% of the profit. Even better, if the profit on the car sold is more than $1,500, the salesperson gets 21% of the profit as commission.

Answer 1

Answer:

The salesperson earns $60 for every $200 profit.

profit         0    100  200 300  400 500 600 700

commission 0 0 60 60 120 120 180 180

Therefore, .  C(p) =60||$\frac{x}{200}$||.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

               0.15p , p < $900
C(p) =     0.17p,  $900 < p < $1,500
               0.21p,  p > $1,500
