$6,524.96
$8,156.20
$40,781.00

Answer 1

To find the selling price of the car based on Noa's commission of $1,631.24, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Commission} = \text{Selling Price} \times \text{Commission Rate}
\]

Given that the commission rate is 25%, or 0.25 in decimal form, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the selling price:

\[
\text{Selling Price} = \frac{\text{Commission}}{\text{Commission Rate}}
\]

Substituting in the values:

\[
\text{Selling Price} = \frac{1,631.24}{0.25}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Selling Price} = 6,524.96
\]

Thus, the selling price of the car was **$6,524.96**.
