(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.

answer; i believe the correct answer is (180)
