Question

Matt's salary is $30,000 a year. He sold a car for $25,600. His commission is 4.5%. How much commission will Matt earn PLUS his salary? (serious answers only)

Answer 1

To find out how much tax is paid, multiply the car price by the tax rate.

$25,600 x 4.5%

=$1152

$30,000 + $1,152

= $31,152

Answer 2

Matt will make $1,152 in commission, so $31,152 with his salary

Work:
25,600 x 0.045 = 1,152
30,000 + 1,152 = 31,152
