Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Sara sold $3350 in ads,

Kenny sold $1368, and

Leila sold $456

(a)

total sale=3350+1368+456=$5174

Sara's fraction=3350/5174=0.6475

Kenny's fraction=1368/5174=0.2644

Leila's fraction=456/5174=0.0881

(b)

total bonus=$150

Sara's bonus=150*0.6475=$97.12

Kenny's bonus=150*0.2644=$39.66

Leila's bonus=150*0.0881=$13.22

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Sum of all three salespeople's sales is $3350+$1368+$456 equal to $5174

Fraction = Each salespeople's sale / Sum of all sales

Sara = $3350/$5174 = 0.648

Kenny = $1368/$5174 = 0.264

Leila = $456/$5174 = 0.088

(b) Bonus for all three salespeople is $150

Bonus for each is same fraction of $150 of total sales

Sara = $150*0.648 = $97.12

Kenny = $150*0.264 = $39.66

Leila = $150*0.088 = $13.22
