Answer 1

Answer:

Peter thinks he will get £450 actually he would get £420

Step-by-step explanation:

40% of £4200=

0.40×£4200=£1680

£1680/3=£560 per manager

100-40=60

0.60×4200=2520

£2520/7=£360 each sales person

If it is split equally= 4200/10=420

Each one will get £60 more

0.25×360=90

360 increased by 25%=90

360+90=£450

Peter thinks he will get £450 actually he would get £420

Answer 2

Answer:

Peter thinks he will get £420 actually he would get £450

Step-by-step explanation:

Peter thinks he will get:

4200÷100= 420

Peter will actually get:

40% of 4200=1680

4200-1680=2520

2520÷7=360

360×1.25= 450

Peter thinks he will get £420 actually he would get £450
