The earnings of two employees are given below: Employee A: 5% commission on all sales. Employee B: 3% commission on the first $70,000 and 9% commission on anything over $70,000. How much more does a graduated commission employee make over a straight commission employee for sales of $130,000? A. $500 B. $2,000 C. $1,100 D. $1,500

The graduated commission employee makes $1,000 more.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sale of $130,000.

Employee A:

5% on all sales. So a commission of 5% of $130,000 which is: 0.05*130000 = $6,500.

Employee B:

3% commission on the first $70,000 and 9% commission on anything over $70,000.

So a commission fo 3% for the first $70,000 and 9% for $130,000 - $70,000 = $60,000. So

0.03*70000 + 0.09*60000 = $7,500

$7,500 - $6,500 = $1,000

The graduated commission employee makes $1,000 more.

1. x> -5

2. x< 8

step-by-step explanation:

1. 2x> -10

divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

2x/2> -10/2

simplify, to find the answer.

-10/2=-5

x> -5 is the correct answer.

2. 3x< 24

divide by 3 from both sides of equation.

3x/3< 24/3

simplify, to find the answer.

24/3=8

x< 8 is the correct answer.

i hope this you, and have a wonderful day!
