Answer 1

Tom's Bonus=£28.80

The difference in bonus rates is £2.60

Explanation:

-Given Tom's bonus is 30% of £96

#We determine Tom's bonus in £s:

`B_T=0.3* 96\\\\=\£28.80`

#From our calculations,Sally has a larger bonus than Tom:

`B_S>B_T\\\\B_S-B_T=31.40-28.80=\£2.60`

Hence, Tom gets a bonus of £28.80 and the difference in the bonus rates is £2.60
