Answer 1

His total income for the month is $2,216.25 and that means none of these choices are correct

Here, we want to get the total income for the month

Now, what we have to add to the monthly salary is the commission percentage amount

From the question, this is simply 8.5% of $6,250

Thus, we have it that;

`(8.5)/(100)*\text{ 6,250 = \$531.25}`

We now proceed to add this to the salary

We have the total as;

`1,685\text{ + 531.25 = \$2,216.25}`
