Joan sells new cars at a local dealership. She receives a 25% commission on the profit each car is sold for. Last month she sold 9 cars, for a total of $15,000 dealer profit. How much did she earn in commission?

So Joan receives 25% commission on the profits of the cars she sells. She got $8,870 on the profit last month. To find the commission, let’s multiply the amount of profit by the percentage. 8,870 * 0.25 is 2,217.5. There. Joan earned $2,217.50 in commission last month.

$3,570

Step-by-step explanation:

15,000 × 0.25 = 3,750

answer

40 yards

set up equation

the perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides

p = 15 + 8 + c

p = 23 + c

finding c

since this is a right triangle, we can use the pythagorean theorem to find c

a = 8

b = 15

plug in values to get

c = 17

plug in values

p = 23 + c

p = 23 + 17

p = 40
