[Question]Ms. Estrella is an entrepreneur with a startup company having 10 employees. The company makes a revenue of $400000 a month, paying 10% in taxes, 5% of the remaining amount on marketing and ads, 20% of the remaining amount on operational costs, and 15% of the remaining amount on employee wages. Assuming each employee receives the same wage, calculate the amount of money each employee is paid monthly.
[Answer]The company pays a total of 10 / 100 * $400000 = $40000 on taxes. After taxes, the company revenue is $400000 - $40000 = $360,000. The costs of marketing and ads campaign are 5 / 100 * $360000 = $18000. After deducting the costs of marketing and adds campaign, the company remains with = $342,000 in revenue. Operational costs for the company are 20 / 100 * $342000 = $68400. After taking out the operational costs, the company remains with $342000 - $68400 = $273600. The company also pays employee wages of 15 / 100 * $273600 = $41040. If the total number of employees is 10, each employee is paid a salary of $41040 / 10 = $4104 per month. The answer is 4104.
