SOLUTION: Curt can be paid in one of two ways for the furniture he sells. PLAN A: A salary of $900.00 per month, plus a commission of 10% of sales PLAN B: A salary of $1200.00 per month

Question 432700: Curt can be paid in one of two ways for the furniture he sells.
PLAN A: A salary of $900.00 per month, plus a commission of 10% of sales
PLAN B: A salary of $1200.00 per month plus a commission of 15% of sales in excess of $8000.00.

For what amount of monthly sales is plan B better than plan A if we can assume that Curt sales are always more than $8000.00?

Plan B:

-------------------------------
Unless you copied the problem wrong, it looks
like plan B is always better than plan A.
The monthly salary is better, and the
commission is better.
