Question

1You get paid $10 an hour. You work 20 hours this week. For every car you sell, you get a 6% commission. If you're total sales for the week are $125,000. What is your commission? What is your total pay this week?

Answer 1

If your total sales of the week are $125,000, then we have to calculate the 6% of this number to know the comision, so we can made a rule of 3:

$\begin{gathered} 125000\to100 \\ x\to6 \end{gathered}$

and the equation will be:

$x=\frac{125000\cdot6}{100}=7500$

So now the total pay will be the payment per hour plus the comission so:

$\begin{gathered} T=20(10)+7500 \\ T=7700 \end{gathered}$
