Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Chris's earnings in week 2

First, calculate Chris's commission. Commission on first $1000: $1000\times0.025 = 25$. Commission on amount over $1000: $(1500 - 1000)\times0.035=17.5$. Total commission is $25 + 17.5=42.5$. Base - salary is $150$. Total earnings: $150+42.5 = 192.5$.

Step2: Calculate Michelle's earnings in week 2

Michelle worked $10$ hours at Rogers' and $28$ hours at Pringles'. Total hours worked is $10 + 28=38$. Earnings at $7$ per hour: $38\times7 = 266$.

Step3: Calculate Alex's earnings in week 2

Alex clocks in at 9:15 A.M. and out at 2:25 P.M. each day from Monday - Friday. Time worked each day: 5 hours and 10 minutes, or $5+\frac{10}{60}=5+\frac{1}{6}=\frac{31}{6}$ hours. In 5 days, total hours is $5\times\frac{31}{6}=\frac{155}{6}\approx25.83$ hours. Earnings at $7$ per hour: $\frac{155}{6}\times7=\frac{1085}{6}\approx180.83$.

Step4: Determine who earns the most in week 2

Comparing earnings: $180.83$ (Alex) $<192.5$ (Chris) $<266$ (Michelle). So Michelle earns the most in week 2.

Step5: Calculate Chris's earnings in week 3

Commission on $1500$ sales at $1.5%$: $1500\times0.015 = 22.5$. Base - salary is $250$. Total earnings: $250+22.5 = 272.5$.

Step6: Calculate Michelle's earnings in week 3

At Rogers': $10\times7 = 70$. At Pringles' on 4th of July (double - time for 12 hours): $12\times7\times2 = 168$. Total earnings: $70 + 168=238$.

Step7: Calculate Alex's earnings in week 3

Total regular - time hours: $5 + 6+5.75 + 4.5+6.75+5.5 = 33.5$ hours. Weekend hours (Saturday): 5 hours. Weekend pay (time and a half): $5\times7\times1.5 = 52.5$. Regular pay: $33.5\times7 = 234.5$. Total earnings: $234.5+52.5 = 287$.

Step8: Determine who earns the most in week 3

Comparing earnings: $238$ (Michelle) $<272.5$ (Chris) $<287$ (Alex). So Alex earns the most in week 3.

Answer:

In week 2, Michelle makes the most money. In week 3, Alex makes the most money.
