Question 546873: I was having trouble solving this word problem.
Say you sale cars
Your first $12,000 you get .11 commission
Any portion over $12,000 you get .9 commission
How much do you make in commission if you sale a car that is $16,790?

I presume it is 11% & 9%
12000+(0.11*12000)+(16790-12000)*0.09
1751 is the commission
