Guy and Jim work at a furniture store. Guy is paid $185 per week plus 3% of his total sales in dollars,x, which can be represented by g(x)=185+0.03x. Jim is paid $275 per week plus 2.5% of his total sales in dollars,x, which can be represented by f(x)=275+0.025x. Determine the value of x,in dollars, that will make their weekly pay the same.
Solution:
185 + 0.03x = 275 + 0.025x
0.03x - 0.025x = 275 - 185
0.005x = 90
Divide both sides by 0.005
x = 90/0.005
x = dollars
