1. ## Bonus Calculation

I need to calculate bonuses for my employees based on participation on a particular project and embarrassingly enough, it won't come to me this morning.

Example:

Total bonus $400 employee 1 100% participation employee 2 95% participation employee 3 30% participation employee 4 70% participation employee 5 10% participation 2.

Example: Total bonus$400

employee 1 100% participation
employee 2 95% participation
employee 3 30% participation
employee 4 70% participation
employee 5 10% participation

1. $\displaystyle 400$

2. $\displaystyle .95\cdot400$

3. $\displaystyle .30\cdot400$

4..........

That will give you how much you should give to each.

Assuming each employee starts out with a potential bonus of 400.

If you are to spred the 400 around, that's different

3. Right, I need to spread the 400 around between the 5 people

No problem

Let x be the amount that the person who participated the least is to get, then

$\displaystyle x+3x+7x+9.5x+10x=400$

$\displaystyle 30.5x=400$

$\displaystyle x=\frac{400}{30.5}$

Can you proceed?

5. Thanks
