Question

The sales manager of a company awarded a total of $\$3000$ in bonuses to the most productive sales people. The bonuses were awarded in amounts of $\$250$ and $\$750$. If at least one $\$250$ bonus and at least one $\$750$ bonus were awarded, what is one possible number of $\$250$ bonuses awarded?

• A. $7$
• B. $8$
• C. $9$
• D. $10$

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$9$

Since atleast one $\$250$ and atleast one $\$750$ is awarded.
Let assume only one $\$750$ bonus is awarded.
Then bonus left $=3000-750=\$2250$
Therefore, number of bonuses of $\$250$ will be awarded$=\frac{2250}{250}=9$
