A car salesperson receives a 10% commission of the sales price of the car for each car he sells in addition to his weekly salary of $1,000. Last week he sold a car for $21,999. What was his total paycheck for the week?

His total paycheck for the week was $3,199.90.

Step-by-step explanation:

A car salesperson receives a 10% commission of the sales price of the car for each car he sells in addition to his weekly salary of $1,000. Last week he sold a car for $21,999.

Now, to find his total paycheck for the week.

Commission of the sale price of the car = 10%.

Car sold for = $21,999.

So, commission on selling price of the car:

10% of $21,999.

Thus, the commission he gets is $2,199.90.

His weekly salary = $1,000.

Now, to get his total paycheck for the week we add the commission he gets and his weekly salary:

Therefore, his total paycheck for the week was $3,199.90.
