Answer:

Rick's Total fixed income is the Money earned from his Job which is $33,000.

Rick's Total Variable income is the money he earned by selling handmade vases at craft show which is $3,000.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Income from Job = $33,000

Total Income by selling handmade vases = $3,000

Now we need to which part of Rick's total income is fixed income and which part of Rick's total is variable income.

Now,

Definition of Fixed Income is Money earned which is fixed from week to week or by month to month

Definition of Variable Income is the Money which is earned may vary from week to week or from month to month.

Now, Rick earns money from job is $33,000 hence we can say this amount is to fixed income as it doesn't vary from week to week or from month to month.

Also Rick earns money from selling handmade vases at craft shows hence from above definition we can say that this income is variable income as completely depends upon the number of vases he sold in the craft shows it may be less or it may be more hence this income of rick is variable income as it varies with week to week or month to month depending upon the number of vases sold.

Hence;

Rick's Total fixed income is the Money earned from his Job which is $33,000.

Rick's Total Variable income is the money he earned by selling handmade vases at craft show which is $3,000.
