Question

a car dealership pays you 5% commission on your first $10,000 on car sale and 8% commission on the sale amount over $10,000. if you sold a $12,000 car, how much is your commission?

Answer 1

660

Explanation:

first you multiply the first 10,000 by 5%. 10,000*5%=500 or 10,000*0.05=500. after you do that, you multiply the money left over by 8%, in this case the money left over is 2,000 dollars. 2,000*8%= 160. Then you add the two numbers together. 500+160= 660. and there you have your answer. Hope it helped!
