Answer:

The amount the agent makes on commission working 50 weeks each year is $92250

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The commission a sales car agent gets from the sales price of each car the agent sells = 3%

The sales price of an average used car = $20,500

The average number of cars the agent sells a week = 3 cars

The number of weeks the agent works in a year = 50 weeks

Therefore, the average total number of cars the agent sells in a year = 50 × 3 = 150 cars

The price of the 150 cars on average the agent sells in a year = $20,500 × 150 = $ 3,075,000

The amount the agent makes on commission working 50 weeks each year at 3% of total sales price = 3/100 × $ 3,075,000 = $92250.
