she earns $1000 per month plus 15%commission on her sales.

----------------
Let "x" be her sales.
----------------------
Current position salary: C(x) = 1000 + 0.15x
----------------------
Other position salary: O(x) = 500 + 0.20x
------------------
INEQUALITY:
O(x)>=C(x)
500+0.20x >= 1000+0.15x
0.05x >= 500
x >= $10,000
She would have to sell at least $10,000 per month in
the new position to meet or exceed her income in her
current position.
