Question

Mr. Wedmore works at a car dealership and earns

a monthly salary of $2,000. He also earns 25%
commission on the gross profit of the car sales. If
Mr. Wedmore brought in $10,000 worth of profit
for the dealership, how much would he earn this
month?

Answer 1

Answer: $4,500

Step-by-step explanation: First, the monthly salary is $2,000 so this is part of the total already. The 25% commission is on the profit they earn and the profit they earned was $10,000. To find 25% of $10,000, you do 10,000 times 0.25 which is $2,500.

Total Earned: $2,000 (Monthly Salary) + $2,500 (Commission Amount) = $4,500

Answer 2

Answer: $2,000. + 25% + $10,000= 12,500 Or $2,000. - 25% - $10,000=8500
