Answer 1

Answer:

1) His total commission is $1,234.3

2) The purchase of the car is $24,790.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) 21640*0.02= 432.8+ 250= 682.8

15075*0.02= 301.5+ 250= 551.5

682.8+ 551.5= 1,234.3

2) 745.8- 250= 495.8/ 0.02= 24,790

Answer 2

#A

• p=15,075

$\\ \sf\longmapsto E(p)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+0.02(15,075)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+301.5$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 551.5$

She earned 551.5$

#B

• p=745.80

$\\ \sf\longmapsto E(p)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+0.02(745.80)$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+14.9$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 264.9$

She earned 264.9$
