Question

Nic sells advertising packages for a radio station. The company pays him $150 per week and they also pay him $75 for every package he sells. His friend Asia works for the same radio station but she receives a salary only, which is $1,275 per week. How many packages does Nic need to sell in a week to earn as much as Asia?

Answers are:
A) 14
B) 15
C)16
D)20

Answer 1

I believe the answer would be 15, because Nic makes a base of $150 per week, so you would do the base $150+75=225 and keep going until you get 1275. The # of packages Nic would need to sell to reach Asia’s weekly pay is 15.
