Question 1007820: Alex gets a $15 salary and 10% commission on his hourly sales at Auto Corporation. Ranger Corporation offers him a base salary of $30 plus 5% commission on his hourly sales. What would his hourly sales (x) need to be for him to be better off at Auto Corporation?

Call hourly sales, x. Then we compare
15 + .1x > 30 + .05x
Now subtract .05x and subtract 15 from both sides and get
.05x > 15
x > $300 in hourly sales
