Question

At my new job I have two options for a salary. I can either be paid $400 a week or $300 a week plus a 15% commission on all sales. If last year I sold $200,000 worth of items, which option should I pick for this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

You should pick the $300 weekly with 15% commision offer.

Step-by-step explanation:

I think that mathematically speaking, you have a chance of making more money by choosing this option based on your sales from last year.

Good Luck! :)

Answer 2

Answer:  

Second option should be chosen.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the  first  I will be paid    $400 x 52 = 20800  

                    [ There are 52 weeks in a year ]                                                                                                                                                                                                  

and for the second $300 and 15 % of 200,000 =$300x52 +0.15x200,000

                                                                                = $15600+$30000

                                                                                = $45600

 Since second one will be paid more than that of first one.
