• A. $\$$150
• B. $\$$175
• C. $\$$215
• D. $\$$235

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\$$215

Given:

Let his daily salary be x.
So,
Total salary = Amount earned in 5 days + Tips
$⟹$ 1200 = 5x + 5% of 500 + 10% of 1000
$⟹$ 1200 = 5x + 25 + 100
$⟹$ 5x = 1200 - 125
$⟹$ 5x = 1075
$⟹$ x = $\$$215

Therefore, Joe's daily salary is $\$$215.
