Janet a manager, says," no you wont get that much extra. show that Janet is correct by working out how much peter thinks he would get and how much he would actually get.

Answer 1

Explanation:

if each the bonus is shared equally each will get 420

if 40% is shared by managers each manager will get 560

if 7 sales persons share 60% each will get 360

therefore Peter salesperson will get 360

but he thinks he will get 336 because if 420 is 125% that is including his extra 25% then hundred percent of the 420 is 336 which is not what he will get there for Janet is correct
