The question is not complete, below is the complete question:
A fastpitch softball player signs a six-year contract. Her agent expects that she will earn $1,000,000 over the next six years. If the agent is right, how many bonus payments, on average, should the pitcher expect each year? Explain
Yearly Salary: $20.000. Bonus for each game that attracts 100+ fans: $8.000.
Answer:
on average, the pitcher expects to earn 18.3 bonuses per year
Step-by-step explanation:
Total amount earned over the next 6 years = $1,000,000
salary per year = $20,000
salary for the next 6 years = 20,000 × 6 = $120,000
Next, let us calculate the amount earned from bonuses:
Total amount earned = amount earned from salaries + amount earned from bonuses
$1,000,000 = 120,000 + Amount earned from bonuses
Amount earned from bonuses = 1,000,000 - 120,000
Amount earned from bonuses = $880,000
Total bonus amount earned over six years = $880,000
Amount of bonus earned per game = $8,000
Number of bonuses received over the next 6 years = (Total bonus earned over six years) ÷ (Amount of bonus earned per game)
Number of bonus received over the next 6 years = 880,000 ÷ 8,000
Number of bonus received over the next 6 years = 110 bonuses
6 years = 110 bonuses
1 year = 110 ÷ 6 = 18.33 bonuses
on average, the pitcher expects to earn 18.3 bonuses per year
