Mrs. Sanchez is given a $550 hiring bonus with a new job. She earns an average commission of $275 per week for the year. If $68 is subtracted each week for taxes and benefits, how much does she earn in commissions and bonus for the year?



Answer :

Let x = how much she makes each year
bonus + average commission (weeks in a year)  - taxes (weeks in a year) = how much she earns per year
550 + 275(52) - 68(52) =x
550 + 14300 - 3536 = x
14850 - 3536 = x
11314 = x
She earns about $11,314 per year

The amount that she will earn in commissions and bonus for the year will be $11314.

Let the amount that she makes be represented by x.

Based on the information given, the equation to solve the question will be;

x = 550 + 275(52) - 68(52)

x = 550 + 14300 - 3536

x = 14850 - 3536

x = 11314

Therefore, the correct option is $11314.
