Question 76844: Bob owns a car wash and pays his employees either $5 plus 2% commission or $3 plus 4% commission. How much would sales have to be for the pay to be equal?
I got:
y= 5+.02x
y= 3+.04x
Not sure what x=?
Can you help? Answer by checkley75(3666) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! SEEING AS THE TWO SALARIES ARE EQUAL THEN SET THE TWO FORMULAS EQUAL.
5+.02X=3+.04X
.02X-.04X=3-5
.02X=2
X=2/.02
X=10 NUMBER OF SALES NEED TO MAKE THE TWO OFFERINGS EQUAL.
