Final answer:
The question relates to mathematics and involves calculations to determine commission and gross wages. A direct linear relationship between earnings and commission suggests a commission of $2,700 for earnings of $9,000, which is not listed as an option.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question involves calculating commissions and gross wages, which relates to the subject of mathematics, specifically financial mathematics. To determine the commission, we can use the given table that shows how commission scales with the earnings from work:
- $5,000 earnings from work = $1,500 commission
- $6,000 earnings from work = $1,800 commission
- $9,000 earnings from work = $2,700 commission
Based on this, if there is a direct linear relationship between earnings and commission, the closest match to the commission amounts given ($1,500, $2,000, $2,500, or $3,000) for monthly earnings of $9,000 would be $2,700 (which is not listed in the options, indicating there may be a mistake in the options provided or in the question itself).
For the gross wage, if Jason works 1,000 hours at $4.50 per hour, and also receives $10,000 in government benefits, his total income would be the sum of his earnings from work and government benefits, which is $14,500. Since this is the maximum he can earn, none of the options listed directly correspond to his true gross wage based on these calculations.
If the answer choices given are correct, then providing a definitive solution is not possible without further clarification or information about how the earnings from work directly translate to commissions.
