Income - I
Commission - C
Base Salary - B
Originally last year - I = B + C
Option 1 -
B + 1.3C = 1.1I
Subtract this from the original equation
We get - 0.1I = 0.3C
Or C = 0.33I
This means that Base was 0.67 of I which is greater than 50%
Sufficient
Option 2 -
Since we are not given whether B > C - we should consider it both ways. First if B was greater than C -
B - C = 0.5B
C = 0.5B
Replacing in original equation
I = B + 0.5B
B = 0.66I
Hence this answers as yes, base salary accounts for
