Answer 1

You would have to do 500x 4 which is 2000

Answer 2

For every car she sells, she earns a 500 dollar fee.

1 car = $500

She sells 4 cars, and we need to find out how much she earns in fees.

4 cars = $ ?

We can set up a proportion to find out how much she earns.

$\frac{1}{500} =\frac{4}{?}$

Cross multiply

1*? = 2,000

Amount she earns from fees is $2000
