Explanation:

Sum the sales values

We first calculate the total sales amount by adding the prices of the four cars sold.

$$ \text{Total Sales} = \$23,799.00 + \$29,748.75 + \$17,849.25 + \$33,318.60 $$

$$ \text{Total Sales} = \$104,715.60 $$

Calculate the commission

We find the commission earned by multiplying the total sales by the commission rate of \(5\%\) (or \(0.05\)).

$$ \text{Commission} = \$104,715.60 \times 0.05 $$

$$ \text{Commission} = \$5,235.78 $$

Answer:

Gustav makes \(\$5,235.78\) on these sales.
