Vote: Please make sure to properly format your answers. All dollar figures in the answers need to include the dollar sign and any amount over 1,000 should include the comma ( \( \$ 2,354.67 \) ). All percentage values in the answers need to include a percentage sign (\%). For all items without specific rounding instructions, round your answers to two decimal places, show both decimal places (5.06). Salespersons at the Kings Park Auto Giant are paid a commission, \( c(p) \), based on the profit, \( p \). The following piecewise function gives the commission rules. \[ c(p)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 0.20 p & \text { when } 0 \leq p<900 \\ 0.23 p & \text { when } 900 \leq p<1,500 \\ 0.25 p & \text { when } p \geq 1,500 \end{array}\right. \] a. If the profit is \( \$ 1,500 \), what is the percent commission rate? \( \square \) b. If the profit is \( \$ 900 \), what is the percent commission rate? \( \square \) c. What is the commission on a car sold for a \( \$ 970 \) profit? \( \square \) d. Kings Park Auto Giant purchases a car for \( \$ 32,090 \) and sells it for \( \$ 33,200 \). What commission is paid to the salesperson? \( \square \)

Beyond the Answer
The commission on a profit of \( \$ 1,500 \) falls in the highest tier of the piecewise function. Therefore, the commission rate is \( 25\% \). For a profit of \( \$ 900 \), the function tells us that it is at the boundary between the first and second tiers. Thus, the commission rate is \( 23\% \). To find the commission on a car sold for a profit of \( \$ 970 \), we use the second tier where the rate is \( 23\% \). Therefore, the commission is calculated as \( 0.23 \times 970 = \$ 223.10 \). To find the commission on the car sale, we first calculate the profit, which is \( \$ 33,200 - \$ 32,090 = \$ 1,110 \). Then, since the profit falls between \( 900 \) and \( 1,500 \), the commission is \( 0.23 \times 1,110 = \$ 255.30 \).
