$14000 + $14000 = $28000
Multiply 28,000 times the percent commission to calculate his commission; therefore, Answer is $28,000*k=28000k

It's a trick question--you gave us the dealer's asking price for the cars, not the buyer's agreed purchase price, which could differ and the commission would then be based upon.

It's k percent, not just k. So right off the bat you lose two decimal places. Trick question.

Not really, k is just a number, the percent is not part of the variable

It's not a trick question; it's a poorly worded question. For example, you're implying that it must be K%, but a percent can can be written a number of other ways (fraction, decimal, ratio), so without explicitly stating the notation, your question is too vague to reject C.

In other words, a test publisher would throw out that crappy question.

Damn. I make a self deprecating joke, and you respond like a dickhead. No wonder everyone hates Texas.
