Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

You have to calculate the total salary of each plan, considering the monthly base salary plus the comission.

So you have to calculate the comission for each plan considering monthly sales are $5000, and add the monthly base salary.

Let's do the math:

  • Plan A


$500+(5000*8/100)=900

  • Plan B


$600+(5000*7/100)=950

  • Plan C


$700+(5000*6/100)=1000

  • Plan D


$800+(5000*5/100)=1050

So, comparing the total amounts of each plan, you can see that Maya will earn the most money in a month with plan D.
