Question

Miles earns a 6% commission on each vehicle

Answer 1

The total amount of his  commission for these vehicles is $ 1686

Solution:

Given that,

Miles earns a 6% commission on each vehicle  he sells

Therefore,

Commission rate = 6 %

Today he sold a truck for $18,500 and a  car for $9,600

Therefore,

Commission amount = 6 % of (18500 + 9600)

Commission amount = 6 % of 28100

Calculate the above equation

$Commission\ amount = 6 \% \times 28100\\\\Commission\ amount = \frac{6}{100} \times 28100\\\\Commission\ amount = 6 \times 281 = 1686$

Thus the total amount of his  commission for these vehicles is $ 1686
