The table below shows the typical hours worked by employees at a company. A new employee is offered an annual salary of $37,000. Hourly employees get paid $14 per hour, but get $21 per hour for each hour over 40 hours. Should the new employee choose the salaried or hourly pay? Explain your reasoning.

Salaried pay is preferable for a new employee

Step-by-step explanation:

As per table, hours worked per week:

Employee gets paid for 46 hours per week:

Average yearly salary would be:

Comparing with annual salary, we see:

As we see, hourly employees get paid less, so the new employee should choose annual salary option

answer: 204

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that the revenue is

x⋅(4080−10x)=−10x^2+4080x

this is a quadratic function, so to maximize it we should find the x-value of its vertex. recall that the x-value of the vertex of the parabola ax^2+bx+c is given by the formula −b/2a.

so in this case, we have a=−10 and b=4080, so the x-value of the vertex is

−b/2a= −(4080)/2(−10)=204
