Answers
Answer : The total commission she earn on the sale of these two vehicles will be, $4250
Explanation : Given,
She earns commission on each motorcycle = 10 %
She earns commission on each car = 15 %
Cost of motorcycle = $5,000
Cost of car = $25,000
Now we have to calculate the total commission that she will earn on the sale of these two vehicles.
Commission of each motorcycle = \$ 5000\times \frac{10}{100}=\$ 500$5000×
100
10
=$500
and,
Commission of each car = \$ 25000\times \frac{15}{100}=\$ 3750$25000×
100
15
=$3750
Total commission on both vehicles = Commission of each motorcycle + Commission of each car
Total commission on both vehicles = 500 +500+3750
Total commission on both vehicles = $4250
Therefore, the total commission she earn on the sale
Answer:
5000*10/100=500
25000*15/100=3750
500+3750
ans = 4250
