a car salesperson receives $576 a week in addition to 37% commission on all cars whose sticker price is above $4500. one week he sold a ford for $18,785 and a buick for $5,832. how much did he earn that week?
Answer
# Explanation:
## Step1: Calculate total sales above $4600
The Ford sold for $10,785 and the Buick for $5,832.
For the Ford: $10785 - 4600=6185$
For the Buick: $5832 - 4600 = 1232$
Total above - $4600$ sales: $6185+1232 = 7417$
## Step2: Calculate commission
The commission rate is 37%. So the commission is $0.37\times7417=2744.29$
## Step3: Calculate total earnings
The base - pay is $576$ per week.
Total earnings = base - pay+commission
$576 + 2744.29=3320.29$
# Answer:
$3320.29$
