Question

Marcus can choose between a monthly salary of $1,500 plus a 5.5% commission of sales or $2,000 plus a 3% commission of sales. He expects about $8,000 in sales each month. Which salary option should he choose?

Answer 1

• The second option is better

Explanation:

Total for the first choice:

• 8000*5.5/100 + 1500 = $1940

Total for the second choice:

• 8000*3/100 + 2000 = $2240

As we see the second choice is better as more salary is expected
