The total amount of money Bernadette earned in April was $6200

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us solve the question

∵ Each month Bernadette receives $2000

∵ She also receives a 5% commission for all of her sales

∴ She earns each month = 2000 + 5% of her sales

∵ In April, Bernadette sold $84,000 worth of used cars

→ Multiply it by 5% to find her commission

∴ Her commission = 5% × 84,000

→ Change 5% to decimal by divide it by 100

∵ 5% = 5 ÷ 100 = 0.05

∴ Her commission = 0.05 × 84,000

∴ Her commission = $4200

→ Add her commission to her fixed amount to find her salary in April

∵ She earned in April = 2000 + 4200

∴ She earned in April = 6200

∴ The total amount of money Bernadette earned in April was $6200
