Question

Roger paid $23400 to buy a new car. The price included a 5.9% commission rate for the dealer. How much does the car cost without the dealer's commission

Answer 1

Answer: $22,096.32

Explanation:

The total cost of the car including the commission can be defined by the following equation:

`x + 0.059x = 23,400`

With x being the cost of just the car. When you solve for x, you get $22,096.32, which is the cost of car without the commission:

`1.059x = 23,400\\x = 22,096.32`
