Question

A dealer paid $10,000 for a used car at an auction. At the dealership, a salesperson sold the car for

30% more than the auction price. The salesperson receives a commission of 5% of the dealership
price. How much commission did the salesperson receive in dollars?
A. $150
B. $650
C. $3,000
D. $12,350

Answer 1

(1.3×10000)×0.05=650$

Explanation:

It was sold for 30% more than at the auction, which means we add 30% which is 0.3 of the price at the auction so 10000 + (30/100)×10000 which equals 13000. Now take 5% which is 0.05 of 13000 to get the final answer

(x% is equal to X/100)
