The car dealership decides to revise its commission program. Now the salesperson gets a flat commission of $60 for every $200 of profit made on a car.

What is a function that relates the commission earned by a salesperson, C(p), to the profit, p, earned on that car under the new commission program?

60 is what percent of 200...
60/200 = x/100
200x = 6000
x = 6000/200
x = 30%...that means for every sale, the sales person gets a 30% commission

C(p) = 0.3p <==
