Question

​8.​A car dealership pays you 4% commission on your first $8000 in car sales and 8% commission on sales over $8000. If you made $9000 in car sales, how much is your commission?

Answer 1

(8000*.04)+(1000*.08)=$400

The 4% applies to the first 8000 and the 8% is applied to the 1000 that is left over after the first 8000 is taken from the 9000 in sales.

Hope this helped!
