<p>question #3 is 5</p>

<p>@ post#19, It probably was an error with BB. Another problem gave me a wrong answer, and the one I chosed was right. But thank you so much for your help! I’ll be sure to post another 6 later on.</p>

<p>And Jubilant, LOL, NP. I don’t want the SAT Prep forum to be drowned with “Help me with this Math problem!” threads.</p>

<p>Can someone help with this question:</p>

<p>BB2 401 number 20?</p>

<p>A salesperson’s commision is k percent of the selling price. While of the following represents the commision, in dollars, on 2 cars that sold at 14,000</p>

<p>A. 280k
B. 7,000k
C. 28,000k
D. 14,000/ (100+2k)
E. 28,000+k/ 100</p>

<p>the answer is A</p>

<p>^All you have to do is substitute. Let’s say the salesperson gets 10% commission for the selling price of the car. He sells two cars worth $14,000 each so that’s a total of $28,000. 10% of that would be 2800. The only answer choice that yields that answer when you substitute 10 is A.</p>
