Curt can be paid in one of two ways for the furniture he sells.
Plan A: Salary of $1250 per month, plus a commission of 10% of sales.
Plan B: Salary of $1350 per month, plus a commission of 15% of sales in excess of $9000.
For what amount of monthly sales is plan B better than plan A, assuming Curt's sales are always more than $9000?
:
Let a = monthly sales
.15(a-9000) + 1350 > .10a + 1250
.15a - 1350 + 1350 > .10a + 1250
.15a - .10a > 1250
.05a > 1250
a > 1250/.05
a > $25000
Plan B is better than Plan A when Curt's sales are more than $25,000
