Question

a salesperson earns a commission based on the number and type of vechile sold.A person selling 6 cars and 3 trucks earns $4,800.A person selling 8 cars and 1 truck earns $4,600.How much does a salesperson earn for selling 2 cars and 3 trucks?​

Answer 1

$2800

Explanation:

First divide $4800 by 3 which will give you $1600 which is the price for 2 cars and 1 truck.

=
`(4800)/(3) = $1600`

Next, subtract the $1600, which is the price of 2 cars and 1 truck from $4600, which is the price of 8 cars and 1 truck giving you the price of 6 cars.

$4600 - $1600 = $3000

Now divide the $3000, the price of six cars, by three to get the price of 2 cars.

`(3000)/(3) = $1000`

Lastly, multiply the $1000 by 2 to get the price of 4 cars. Then subtract this $2000, the price of 4 cars from the $4800, the price of 6 cars and three trucks to give you the price of 2 cars and 3 trucks.

$4800 - $1000 = $2800
