Answer: [tex]\$115.5[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise, let "t" represents the total comission in dollars that Jake made at bob's furniture today.
According to the information given in the exercise, you know that:
- Jake sold a sofa that costs $900 and the another sofa that costs $750.
- The commission he gets by each furniture sold is 7%. Then, you can divide this by 100 in order to write it as a decimal number:
[tex]\frac{7}{100}=0.07[/tex]
Using all the information shown above, you need to write the following equation:
[tex]x=(900)(0.07)+(750)(0.07)[/tex]
Finally, you must evaluate in order to find the value of "x".
You get that this is:
[tex]t=115.5[/tex]
