Comparing two pay scales 2007-05-03
From san:
Mable is offered a job selling magazine subscriptions. She has the choice of two pay scales. Pay scale 1:
She can be paid $0.65 for each subscription she sells.
Pay scale 2:
She can be paid $0.10 for the first subscription, with the wage gong up $0.05 more for each subscription after the first.
For her first sale she would make $0.10, for her second sale she would make $0.15, for her third sale she would make $0.20, and so on.
Please compare and analyze the two scales. Which scale is better?
