Step-by-step explanation:

Equations

A dealership reported they sold a total of 72 vehicles.

It also determined that for every 4 cars sold, they sold 2 trucks. It means that they sold twice as many cars as trucks.

Let x be the number of trucks sold.

It follows that 2x is the number of cars sold.

The sum of both numbers must equal 72:

x + 2x = 72

Simplifying:

3x = 72

Solving:

x = 72 / 3 = 24

The number of cars were

2x= 48

The dealership sold in August 24 trucks and 48 cars

$2416.6

step-by-step explanation:

per hour = $ 25

total work time = 35

commission = 15%

total she has to make = $ 4,500

let she sold x dollar products

so her commission will be 15 % of x

now

total = weekly basic pay + commission

4500= (25*35) + 15 % of x

4500=875 + * x

4500-875 =   * x

3625= * x

multiplying wwith 100 on both sides gives

36250 = 15 x

now

x =  

x= $2416.6
