Sagot :

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

#A

  • p=15,075

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto E(p)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+0.02(15,075)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+301.5[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 551.5[/tex]

She earned 551.5$

#B

  • p=745.80

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto E(p)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+0.02(745.80)[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 250+14.9[/tex]

[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto 264.9[/tex]

She earned 264.9$
