formula for savio:
y = 2x + 90
formula for aimee:
y = 120
graph of daily compensation for savio and aimee.
red is compensation for savio.
blue is compensation for aimee.
x represents the number of cell phones sold.
y represents the total compensation.
they break even when savio sells 15 cell phones.
aimee makes 120 no matter how many cell phones she sells.
when savio sells 15 cell phones, he makes 90 + 2 * 15 = 90 + 30 = 120.
if savio sells more than 15 cell phones in a day, he makes more than aimee for that day.
