Agraduated commission employee makes 3.5% interest on the first $50,000 in sales and 6.5% interest on all sales over $50,000. which of the following expressions represents the employee’s total earnings on $81,500 in sales? a. (0.035)(50,000) + (0.065)(81,500) b. (0.035)(50,000) + (0.065)(31,500) c. (0.35)(50,000) + (0.65)(31,500) d. (3.5)(50,000) + (6.5)(31,500)

B is the correct answer

Explanation:

3.5% of $50,000 = 0.035 * 50 000

6.5% of all sales over $50,000 and in this case is 81,500 - 50,000 = 31,500

Therefore it would = 0.065 * 31,500

So B would be the correct answer

Hope this help you :3

Option B.

Explanation:

A graduated commission employee makes 3.5% interest on the first $50,000 in sales and 6.5% interest on all sales over $50,000.

Total sales = $81,500

Sales over $50,000 = $81,500 - $50,000 = $31,500

3.5% interest on the first $50,000 = (0.035)(50,000)

6.5% interest on all sales over $50,000 = (0.065)(31,500)

Total employee’s total earnings = (0.035)(50,000) + (0.065)(31,500)

Therefore, the correct option is B.

If this is a true or false question, then I definitely believe this is true.
You shouldn't argue with your employees in public, telling them that they did something wrong or that their work is not up to par in front of their colleagues. This will only create resentment on their part which will result in you losing one of your workers.
