first lets establish some variables. I = income for Kyle and S = total sales
:
1st offer:I=.02(S)+600..........eq 1
2nd offer:I=.015(S)+1000........eq 2

we want to know when the Income will be equal so we set eq 1 = to eq 2
:
.02S+600=.015S+1000
:
.005S=400
:
$dollars for equal pay from each offer
