Answer: 0.02x
Explanation:
The value of the cars the salesman makes is x in this instance.
The salesman makes a 2% commission on every sale so this can be represented by multiplying 2% by the value of the cars which in this case is x.
= 2% * x
= 0.02 * x
= 0.02x
If for instance he sells $40,000 worth of cars, his commission would be:
= 0.02 * x
= 0.02 * 40,000
= $800
