Question

For every car you sell, you get a 6% commission. IF your total sales for the month is $125,650, what is your commission?

Answer 1

Answer:

Let x= total cost of cars         y= total commission paid out for all cars sold

           and 6%= 6/100 = .06   Usually, you want to change percents to decimals

Percents usually involve multiplication    You are multiplying the cost of the cars by the commission.

 

Set up an equation:     y= .06(x)         Given:  x= $125,650

 

Now, just substitute  into the y= .06(x)         Given:  x= $125,650, and multiply $125,650 by .06, and you're done!

 

I hope that this  helps!   

Answer 2

Let
x= total cost of cars
y= total commission paid out for all cars sold

6%= 6/100 = .06

Set up an equation:
y= .06(x)

Given: x= $125,650

substitute into the y= .06(x)

multiply $125,650 by .06.

The answers would be: 7539
