(a) Bill's Total piecework pay = $500

(b) Amount owed by his boss=$26

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of documents put together and prepared for mailing by Bill = x

Bill receives 25 Cents=$0.25 for every document

Therefore for x documents, Bill should receive: $0.25x

If Bill prepared 2000 documents for mailing

x=2000

The amount he should receive = $0.25 X 2000 = $500

(a) Bill's Total piecework pay = $500

(b) Amount owed by his boss

=500-474

=$26
