B is 166666.67

Can someone please help me with C?

I keep getting 33333.33 and that answer doesn't seem to work

Answer A and B are correct because when I input them, it says they are right.

I keep trying to input 33333.33 for C but it keeps telling me I'm wrong

Answer 1

The answer is;

A) 108,000 (Remember to put the quota of 8k)
$6000/.06 = $100,000
$6000 + $2000 (base pay) = $8000

B) 166666.67
166666.67 x .03 = $8000

C) $49,333.33 (They both earn the same if they sell this)
