Question

Anita is a door-to-door saleswoman for a company selling bedcovers. The company pays her a fixed salary of Rs W every month and also a bonus of Rs Z for every bedcover sold by her.
In March 2002, Anita sold 46 bedcovers. How much would her total earnings for March be?
a) (W + Z) × 46
b) W + Z × 46
c) (W + 46) × Z
d) W × Z × 46

Answer 1

Given:

Anita's fixed salary = Rs. W

Bonus = Rs. Z for every bedcover sold by her.

To find:

Her total earnings if she sold 46 bedcovers.

Solution:

We have,

Bonus if she sold 1 bedcover = Rs. Z

Bonus if she sold 46 bedcover = Rs. Z × 46

We know that,

Total earnings = Fixed salary + Bonus

                        = $W+Z\times 46$

Therefore, the correct option is (b).
