You might be tempted to use the information given to solve for c and find that the salesman’s percentage is 7% and then apply that rate to the $56,000, but it is easier to set up a proportion:2940/4200= commission/56000
Cross multiply
The result will be $ 3920
B is the answer
Cross multiply
The result will be $ 3920
