the main stem of the Q gives us:-
largest bonus=.2 * annual salary..
smallest bonus=.3 *(0.2*annual salary)..
so to know annual salary, any of the values largest, smallest bonus, or add, difference, ratio etc of the two bonuses is sufficient..
1) it gives the smallest bonus.. suff
2) it gives the difference of two bonuses.. suff

1. The smallest possible bonus that Felix can receive this year is $4800.00 2. The difference between the largest and smallest bonus that Felix can receive this year is$11,200.00.

Let the salary be $$x$$

1. The smallest possible bonus that Felix can receive this year is $4800.00 $$4800 = 0.3 * 0.2 * x$$ We can determine the salary using the above equation as only unknown variable is $$x$$ Hence, (1) ===== is SUFFICIENT 2. The difference between the largest and smallest bonus that Felix can receive this year is$11,200.00.

$$11,200 = 0.14 * x$$

We can determine the salary using the above equation as only unknown variable is $$x$$

Hence, (2) ===== is SUFFICIENT
