6th - 8th grade

Megan's summer job pays either minimum wage ($7.25 per hour) or 20% commission on what she sells. If megan works for 8 hours and sells $450 worth of stuff, should she be paid minimum wage or commission?

Bonus: If she takes the commission, what is the equivalent hourly rate?

Double Bonus: If she takes the hourly wage what is the equivalent percent commission?
