Answer:

a) $450 per week, because you have room to earn more money because the average is sales is $2397.26 per week which the commission for option one would be is $227.74 which means on average people get $ 342.74, so $450 every week is a much higher salary.

b) The differace is that option 1 has the potential to increase by you selling more you can make more but in option 2 you know you will get $450 a week every week and that you would need to sell well above average to make more than $450
