In the circulation department of a city newspaper, four customer service representatives each receive $320 a week, while two assistant managers earn $12 an hour each plus an average $100 per day commission. What is the average total weekly compensation paid to these six employees for a five-day, 40-hour work week?

Question

Accepted Answer

First, add up the wages made by the four customer service reps. $320x4 = 51-280 Now calculate how much the two assistant managers make each week. 2 assistant managers * [($12 per hour x 40 hr) + (5 days per week x $100)] = 2 assistant managers x ($480 + $500) = 2 assistant managers x $980 = $1,960 per week Now add the pay for the four customer service representatives to the pay for the two assistant managers. S1.280 - S1,960 = S3.240 total
