Janice earns a 4 percent commission for the medical equipment that she sells. If she earned $1,823.94 in commission on the digital x-ray machine that she sold, what was the cost of the machine?

A 4 percent commission means Janice earned 0.04 times the machine’s cost. Divide the commission by 0.04: $1,823.94 ÷ 0.04 = $45,598.50. The machine cost $45,598.50, which is choice C.
