2%=.02

1.5%=.015

600 + .02x = 1000 + .015x

Solve for x.

Answer 4

the answer is 23$

Answer 5

I'm not a math teacher but I believe the answer is $80,000. Set up the problem as an equation and solve for X.    $660 + (2%) X = $1,000 + (1.5%) X    If he sells $80,000 in either dealership he would make $2,200. At least it worked on this little piece of scrap paper I just worked it out on. lol
