Question

Mr reynold is a car salesman. He makes a salary of 55,000$ a year. He also earns a commission of 1/2 of his total sales for the year. This year, Mr. Reynolds has a sales total of 295,200$. Write and Evaluate a function to find Mr. Reynolds total earning for the year.

Answer 1

To calculate Mr. Reynolds' total earnings for the year, we need to add his salary to his commission.

Let's define a function to represent this:

Total_earning(sales) = salary + commission

Given that his salary is $55,000 and his commission is 1/2 of his total sales for the year,

Total_earning(sales) = 55000 + 1/2 * sales

Now we can plug in the sales value, which is $295,200, into the formula to find Mr. Reynolds' total earnings for the year:

Total_earning(295200) = 55000 + 1/2 * 295200

Total_earning(295200) = 55000 + 147600

Total_earning(295200) = 202,600

Therefore, Mr. Reynolds' total earnings for the year would be $202,600.
