Question 1 • 25-26 CRX Math Models with Applications 7052A

If total employee benefits are calculated as a percentage of their gross pay, which of the following employees receives the largest percentage of their gross pay in employee benefits?

Answer
A
Employee A: gross pay $32,600 , total job benefits $33,600
B
Employee B: gross pay $32,900 , total job benefits $34,000
C
Employee C: gross pay $33,400 , total job benefits $33,900
D
Employee D: gross pay $33,700 , total job benefits $34,700

Explanation

Find each employee’s benefits by subtracting gross pay from total job benefits, then compare benefits as a percentage of gross pay. Employee B has $34,000 − $32,900 = $1,100 in benefits, and $1,100 ÷ $32,900 ≈ 3.34%. This is greater than the corresponding percentages for the other employees, so Employee B receives the largest percentage.
