Answer:
The best possible answer is A) $17.00 and hour with a $1,000 bonus.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can start by narrowing down the answers to the ones with the bonuses. The others are obviously less as it is the same pay without added bonus. Next we can determine the amount in answer A by multiplying the amount per hour by the number of hours in a week and by the number of weeks in a year.
$17.00 * 40 * 52 = $35,360
And then you add the $1,000 bonus.
Answer A Amount = $36,360
Now to find answer D amount, we multiply the total by the 10% bonus to find the bonus amount.
$32,000 * 10% = $3,200
Now we add that to the previous salary to get the overall D answer amount.
$32,000 + $3,200 = $35,200
As you can see, the amount in answer A is the larger amount.
