Question

3. The table shows the sales that employees made in May and June. Employee May June Juan $350 $375 Rhia $275 $350 Max $400 $360 (a) Describe each employee’s June sales as a percent increase or decrease over the employee's May sales. Round to the nearest whole percent. (b) Any employee who had an increase of at least 10% and sold $355 or more in product received a bonus. Which employees, if any, received a bonus? Explain your reasoning for each employee.

Answer 1

A.
Juan Increase 25/350 = .071 * 100 = 7 %
Rhia Increase 75/275 = .273 * 100 = 27 %
Max Decrease 40/400 = .1 * 100 = 10 %
b.
Juan sold more than $355 but his increase was less than 10% so he did not get a bonus.
Rhia had an increase more than 10% but she did not sell more than $355 so she did not get a bonus.
Max had a decrease so he did not get a bonus.
