Question

1. A company has $5826 to give out in bonuses. An amount is to be given out equally to each of the 29 employees.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Incorrect

b) $201

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

$5826 need to be distributed equally among 29 employees . Hence we need to divide 5826 by 29 to know the amount each one will get. Since 58=29*2 and 26≈2, The manager can estimate that each one of the employee will get $201 as bonus. So his reason to estimate was correct but the estimated amount was incorrect.

b)

Each employee will get

$\frac{5826}{29}$

= 200.89

Hence Each one will get

$201 rounded to nearest whole number
