Question

At a car dealership, Joe earns a base salary of $400 per week plus a 15% commission on all sales he makes each week. Last week, Joe had $45,000 in total sales. What would Joe's commission be for the week?

$340

$7,150

$6,750

$60

Answer 1

Joe's commission is calculated by multiplying his total sales by the commission rate:

Commission = Total Sales * Commission Rate

The commission rate is 15%, which can be written as 0.15.

Commission = $45,000 * 0.15 = $6,750.

Therefore, Joe's commission for the week would be $6,750. Answer: $\boxed{6,750}$.
