Question

A car salesman has a salary of $600 a week. He also earns a 25% commission on the profit of his total sales. One week, he sold several vehicles for a final profit of $8500. How much money will he make that week in total.

Answer 1

Answer: 2725$

Explanation:

Profit = 600$ + (8500 x 25/100)
= 600$ + 2125$
= 2725$

600$ is his salary for every week
25% commission for total sales and in that particular week his total sales were 8500$ therefore he earns 25% of that total sales.
