Question 9 • Financial Math

Sheldon works in a retail company and earns a base salary of $4,000 per month. At the end of the quarter, he received a bonus equivalent to 15% of his three-month salary. In the same month, he worked 15 hours of overtime at $25 per hour. How much did Sheldon earn in total for that month, including his base salary, quarter bonus, and overtime?

Answer
A
$6,175
B
$5,375
C
$5,125
D
$7,000

Explanation

Sheldon’s three-month salary is 3 × $4,000 = $12,000, so his 15% quarterly bonus is $1,800. His overtime pay is 15 × $25 = $375. Adding these to his $4,000 base salary for the month gives $4,000 + $1,800 + $375 = $6,175, which is choice A, $6,175.
