Question

3. The table shows the sales that employees made in May and June.

Employee May June
Juan $350 $375
Rhia $275 $350
Max $400 $360
(a) Describe each employee’s June sales as a percent increase or decrease over the employee's May sales. Round to the nearest whole percent.
(b) Any employee who had an increase of at least 10% and sold $355 or more in product received a bonus. Which employees, if any, received a bonus? Explain your reasoning for each employee.
Answer:

Answer 1

Ok, I'm so so so sorry if I get this wrong, but I'ma try.

A.

Juan Increase 25/350 = .071 * 100 = 7 %

Rhia Increase 75/275 = .273 * 100 = 27 %

Max Decrease 40/400 = .1 * 100 = 10 %

B.

Juan sold more than $355 but his increase was less than 10% so he did not get a bonus.

Rhia had an increase of more than 10% but she did not sell more than $355 so she did not get a bonus.

Max had a decrease so he did not get a bonus.
