The employee who had the largest dollar amount in sales for the month of December is: Option A: The salary plus commission employee.

How to find the percentage from the total value?

Suppose the value of which a thing is expressed in percentage is "a'

Suppose the percent that considered thing is of "a" is b%

Then since percent shows per 100 (since cent means 100), thus we will first divide the whole part in 100 parts and then we multiply it with b so that we collect b items per 100 items(that is exactly what b per cent means).

Thus, that thing in number is

[tex]\dfrac{a}{100} \times b[/tex]

The missing table for this problem is attached below.

The total income of employees in a specific month are:

  • For X: $2000 + 3% of all sales X does in that specific month
  • For Y: 7% of all sales Y does  in that specific month
  • For Z: 5% of all sales Z does in that specific month

For the given case, we need their total amount for the month of December.

  • Case 1: Total amount in dollars for X, in December month:

Sales X did in December = $4400

Thus, total amount  X  got in month of December =

$2000  + 3% of $4400

3% of 4400 is [tex]\dfrac{4400}{100} \times 3 = 132[/tex] (in dollars)

Thus,  total amount  X  got in month of December = $2000 + $132 = $2,132

  • Case 2: Total amount in dollars for Y, in December month:

Sales Y did in December = $5600

Thus, total amount  Y  got in month of December =

7% of $5600

7% of 5600 is [tex]\dfrac{5600}{100} \times 7 = 392[/tex] (in dollars)

Thus,  total amount  Y  got in month of December = $392

  • Case 3: Total amount in dollars for Z, in December month:

Sales Z did in December = $4400

Thus, total amount  Z  got in month of December =

$2000  + 3% of $5200

5% of 5200 is [tex]\dfrac{5200}{100} \times 6 = 312[/tex] (in dollars)

Thus,  total amount  Z got in month of December = $312

Thus, X gets largest dollar amount in December month. X gets salary + commission, so, the employee who had the largest dollar amount in sales for the month of December is: Option A: The salary plus commission employee.
