Step-by-step explanation:   don't guess around,  just calculate yourself.     first he sold a car for $15,075.  c(15075) = 250 + 0.02×15075 = $551.50  then he sold another car for $21,640.  c(21640) = 250 + 0.02×21640 = $682.80  his total commission was  $551.50 + $682.80 = $1,234.30    c(p) = 745.80  what was p ?  745.8 = 250 + 0.02p  495.8 = 0.02p  p = 495.8/0.02 = $24,790
