1. Of the 10 employees at a certain company, 5 had annual salaries of $20,000, 4 had annual salaries of $25,000, and 1 had an annual salary of $30,000. If a bonus equal to 10 percent of annual salary was given to each employee, what was the total amount of he bonuses?

(A) $230,000

(B) $75,000

© $30,000

(D) $23,000

(E) $7,500

 

ans is D

i find this question little ambiguous .should'nt it say 5 had annual salaries of $20000 EACH.

it seems here that all 5 had annual salaries of 20000 but according to the answer it means each 5 had annual salaries of 20000(100,000 for all 5)

 

what do you think?
