Answer:
a. 440
b. 100
c. 1800
d. 320
Explanation:
a. $7000 is 3000 +4000 so this falls in two pay ranges.
0.04(3000) + 0.08(4000) = 120+320 = $440
b. $2500 is lower than 300 so it falls in only one pay range.
0.04(2500) = $100
c. 12,000 is greater than both 3000 and 8000 so this falls in the last pay range.
0.15(12000) = $1800
d. $5500 is 3000+2500 so this falls in two pay ranges.
0.04(3000) + 0.08(2500) = 120+200 = $320
