Answer:
His total paycheck for the week was $3,199.90.
Step-by-step explanation:
A car salesperson receives a 10% commission of the sales price of the car for each car he sells in addition to his weekly salary of $1,000. Last week he sold a car for $21,999.
Now, to find his total paycheck for the week.
Commission of the sale price of the car = 10%.
Car sold for = $21,999.
So, commission on selling price of the car:
10% of $21,999.
[tex]=\frac{10}{100} \times 21,999[/tex]
[tex]=0.10\times 21,999[/tex]
[tex]=\$2199.90.[/tex]
Thus, the commission he gets is $2,199.90.
His weekly salary = $1,000.
Now, to get his total paycheck for the week we add the commission he gets and his weekly salary:
[tex]\$2,199.90+\$1,000\\\\=\$3,199.90.[/tex]
Therefore, his total paycheck for the week was $3,199.90.
