2 Variable EquationsEasy
Data is provided followed by two statements – I and II – both resulting in a value, say I and II.
As your answer,

Type 2, if I < II.
Type 3, if I = II.

Last week Martin received 5 per week plus a commission of 2 cents for each of the first 25 copies sold, 3 cents for each of next 25 copies sold and 4 cents for each copy thereafter. ($1 = 100 cents).
I. Martin’s commission in the last week.
II. Miguel’s total income for last week.
Answer & solution
Correct answer: 1
Answer: 1
Solution
Miguel’s income = 5 + (0.02 × 25) + (0.03 × 25) + (0.04 × 50) = $8.25.
Martin’s commission = $10.
Hence obviously I > II.
