Answer:

The difference between the two salary options is $6,795

Explanation:

The sales associates' payments options can be written as follow:

Associate 1:

For the earnings of $215, he earns:

$215 * 52 = $11,180

With commission, he earns 0.85% of $125,000 (The average given)

0.085($125,000) = $10,625

He earns:

$11,180 + $10,625

= $21,805

Associate 2

Earns $550 per week

For 1 year, he earns

$550 * 52 = $28,600

Now, the difference in their payments options is:

$28,600 - $21,805
