Question

Sean is a salesman. He earns 4% commission for each car he sells. Sean just earned $1136 for selling a car. How much did he sell the car for?

Answer 1

`$2840`

Explanation:

If he sells the car for `color(blue)(s)`
we are told
`color(white)("XXX")40% xx color(blue)s = $1136`

`color(white)("XXX")40/100 xx color(blue)s = $1136`

`color(white)("XXX")color(blue)b=($1136xx100)/40=color(blue)($2840)`
