At the end of each year, a certain credit card company pays a bonus to each of its credit card holders based on the amount, up to $10,000, that the cardholder charged throughout the year. A 0.5 percent bonus is paid on the first $1,000 charged, a 1.0 percent bonus is paid on the next $2,000 charged and so on, as indicated in the table above. What is the maximum annual bonus, in dollars?

A. $100
B. $150
C. $200
D. $250
E. $500

Break the percentages instead of amount charged for quick calculation.

0.5% is earned on the entire 10k, extra 0.5% is earned on the 9k (after 1k), another 0.5% is earned on 7k (from 3k to 10k) and another 0.5% is earned on last 4k.

So total bonus = 0.5% of (10k + 9k + 7k + 4k) = 0.5% of 30,000 = $150
(Note that 1% of 30,000 will be 300 so 0.5% will be 150)

Answer (B)
