c) no, he should have added $112 to $5,790.

d) no, he should have multiplied 112 by 0.05.

The correct option is B) No, he should have multiplied $5,790 by 0.05.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

He is paid $14.00 per hour, plus 5% commission. He worked 8 hours and sold 6 computers today for a total of $5,790.

Now find his total earning as shown:

$14 × 8 = $112

It is given that he sold 6 computers for a total of $5,790 and he gets a commission of 5% of total sale.

5% =

Now multiply 0.05 with $5,790

$5,790 × 0.05 = $289.5

Hence, the total income is $112+$289.5=$401.5

To calculate his pay, Henry multiplies 14 × 8, then adds the product to 5,790, then multiplies the sum by 0.05.

Henry's calculation is incorrect as he needs to multiply 5,790 with 0.05 and then he need to add the product of 14 × 8

Therefore, the correct option is B) No, he should have multiplied $5,790 by 0.05.
