Answer 1

I think it's B. 50 times 500=25,000 so the 27,500 is more

Answer 2

Answer: b. more money

Explanation:

Given: Randy works 50 weeks a year, averaging $500 a week in wages.

Thus, currently he is earning total amount in a year =
`\$500*50=\$25000`

The current amount he earn in a year=$25000

Since he is offered a salaried position at $27,500 a year.

And it is clear $27,500>$25000

Therefore, If he accepts it, he will make more money.
