Marcus works as a salesman at a car dealership. He is paid a base salary of $1,137.89 each month, and he receives a commission of $212.69 for each vehicle he sells. If last month Marcus earned $9,220.11, how many cars did he sell last month?

Answer:

He sold 38 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

first we subtract his base salary from how much he made, 9,220.11 - 1,137.80 = 8,082.22

then we divide that by the commission he gets from selling 1 car which is 212.29, the equation looks like: 8,082.22 / 212.69 and that equals 38 which means he sold 38 cars.
