Question

A salesperson earns a commission based on the number and type of vehicle sold. A person selling 6 cars and 3 trucks earns $4,800. A person selling 8 cars and 1 truck earns $4,600. How much does a salesperson earn for selling 2 cars and 3 trucks?
a. $2,500
b. $2,700
c. $2,800
d. $3,000

Answer 1

4800 divide by 3=1600 (2 cars 1 truck)
4600-1600=3000 (6 cars)
3000 divide by 3=1000 (2 cars)
1000*2=2000 (4 cars)
4800-2000=2800 (2 cars 3 trucks)

Answer 2

For the answer to the question above on how much does a salesperson earn for selling 2 cars and 3 trucks?

4800 / 3=1600 (2 cars 1 truck) 

4600-1600 = 3000 (6 cars) 

3000 / 3=1000 (2 cars) 

1000 × 2=2000 (4 cars) 

4800 - 2000 = 2800 (2 cars 3 trucks)
